A rock memorabilia dealer and two other men have been charged over a scheme to sell allegedly stolen, handwritten lyrics to the classic rock song Hotel California by the Eagles.
"They made up stories about the origin of the documents and their right to possess them so they could turn a profit," Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg said. Ms Apps, who represents Mr Kosinski, criticised the case against her client, characterising it as a "civil dispute" over ownership."Despite six years of investigating the case, the district attorney hasn't included a single factual allegation in the indictment showing that my client did anything wrong."
"[This case exposes the truth about music memorabilia sales of highly personal, stolen items hidden behind a facade of legitimacy."It tells a musical tale of being lured into a glitzy, mysterious hotel where "you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave".The 1976 Grammy award-winning album has sold more than 26 million copies, making it one of the best selling in history.
In emails included in the indictment, the writer said Henley's assistant sent the documents from the musician's Malibu home after the writer picked them out.
