A convicted felon and identified organized crime figure (see image below and link: RJ – Judge Accused of Improper Involvement in Murder Probe) named Anthony (Nino) D’Anna (a k a, Tony D’Anna, Anthony Danna, Tony Danna) confided to me that D’Anna’s attorney at the time, Sigal Chattah, had been contacted by then-Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) Sheriff Joe Lombardo about comments by Chattah that Lombardo said he found troubling. (This was before Lombardo ran for and won the election to become Governor of the State of Nevada in 2022. Sigal Chattah also was on the ballot that year as a Republican candidate for Attorney General, going up against Democratic incumbent Ford.)
D’Anna relayed to me that Lombardo told Chattah that he did not appreciate her talking about him in a negative way, which he had heard about through an interesting source of information — a wiretap. According to D’Anna, Chattah’s remarks came to light from wiretap recordings that had been made with subjects related to an investigation into the mysterious robbery of a supposedly very pricey ring worn by Carol Jimmerson, wife of prominent Las Vegas attorney Jim Jimmerson. The robbery occurred in a parking lot outside of a medical office in Summerlin, a suburb of Las Vegas.
