GE Alleges Attorney Took Documents, Fed Them to Reporter

General Electric has charged a former in-house attorney, Adriana Koeck, with illegally taking privileged and confidential company documents and feeding them to a reporter.

The lawsuit was filed last month in federal court in Alexandria, Virginia.

GE is being represented by Charles Wayne of DLA Piper and Barbara Van Gelder of Morgan Lewis.

GE says that Koeck gave the documents to David Cay Johnston, who until he retired on April 11, was a reporter for the New York Times. He currently is writing for Tax Notes International.
