Frank Prell was deposed by the Indiana Office of the Attorney General (OAG) on July 1, 2014 at the law offices of Culotta & Culotta in New Albany, IN. Mr. Prell was the only one of the four Defendants who had not served on the Harbours Board of Directors. His deposition was the last taken of the four although the OAG had attempted to depose him a year earlier in March 2013. At that time, Deputy AG Jennie Beller tried to exclude the other Defendants from attending which was the Defendants’ legal right to do. She threatened a legal challenge while Prell’s deposition was postponed, but Beller never acted on her threat.

His deposition has been edited to remove personal information that was irrelevant to the lawsuit as well as the names of family members and third parties. Some index references at the end of the transcript may be slightly off due to these redactions.
The majority of Mr. Prell’s deposition concerned the OAG’s interest in condos 1103 and 1104 and his involvement. The OAG believed that a fraud was committed by dividing the properties after they had been combined. The next posting will further chronicle the history of these two properties and where the OAG made mistakes in their analysis.
