Los Angeles, California--A Federal Grand Jury has charged a leading American businessman, John De Lorean with dealing in illegal drugs. If found guilty, he could be sentenced to more than 70 years in prison. Federal agents arrested Mr. De Lorean and two other men in Los Angeles last week. Officials said Mr. De Lorean agreed to finance a deal involving the sale of 24, 000, 000 dollars’ worth of the illegal drug cocaine. The official said he hoped to use the money from the sale to save his automobile company. Mr. De Lorean, a former president of the General Motors Auto Company, had set up his own car company in Northern Ireland. But poor sales caused financial problems for the De Lorean company.
