Tom Girardi, the estranged husband of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne, was pictured attending a court hearing in downtown Los Angeles on Monday amid his ongoing embezzlement case.
The 83-year-old disbarred lawyer - who was indicted earlier this month over allegations he embezzled more than $18 million from clients - was accompanied by his legal team as he made his way into the federal building.
Girardi donned a long-sleeved sangria sweater with a V-neck over a collared shirt. He wore dark grey slacks and black shoes, with a black face mask on the chilly winter day.
Girardi last week was indicted by federal grand juries in Los Angeles and Chicago in connection with the theft allegations.
Los Angeles U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada said at a news conference that a probe of the one-time high-profile attorney 'revealed that behind this public persona, [he was] committing fraud on a massive of scale,' the AP reported.

Prosecutors said that Girardi's victims included a Los Angeles family whose son was left paralyzed following an auto accident; and a widow from Arizona who lost her husband when the boat he was riding in began speeding and flipped.
The victims also included relatives of the victims of the October 29, 2018 Lion Air Flight 610 crash, in which all 189 people onboard died.
