Federal court employee is accused of tipping off organized crime members.

The arrest this week of a Hollywood couple accused of leaking
confidential court records to organized crime groups, including
Armenian Power, exposed a major `betrayal within the system' that
forced authorities to move up timelines and change tactics to cope
with the breach, Glendale police officials said.
Nune Gevorkyan, 35, a federal court employee in Los Angeles, and her
husband, Oganes Koshkaryan, 40, were arrested Tuesday on charges that
they conspired to obstruct justice by tipping off organized crime
about police investigations and upcoming arrests.
`Organized crime is actually infiltrating in areas we wouldn't have
expected,' said Glendale Police Lt. Tim Feeley, who oversees the
Special Investigation Bureau and the Eurasian Organized Task Force,
which includes investigators from the FBI, U.S. Secret Service, U.S.
Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Glendale,
Burbank and Los Angeles police departments.
