Trial Set for Former Enron CFO Fastow

Former Enron Corp. Chief Financial Officer Andrew S. Fastow will stand trial in April on nearly 100 criminal charges, separately from two co-defendants, a federal judge ruled.

U.S. District Judge Kenneth Hoyt’s order scheduled Fastow’s trial on fraud, money laundering, conspiracy and insider trading counts to begin April 20.

Co-defendants Dan Boyle and Ben Glisan, who face far fewer charges, are to go to trial later in 2004.
