Citigroup Inc. was accused in a lawsuit by William Salomon of supplying the 99-year-old former Wall Street banker and son of the founder of Salomon Brothers with a personal secretary who was later convicted of stealing from him.

Salomon sued Citigroup over Karen Febles, who was convicted in federal court in Newark, New Jersey, of stealing $1.3 million from him to pay for cars, real estate, cruises and jewelry. The lawsuit, filed May 9 in state court in Manhattan, claims Febles stole $3 million through her “systematic theft.”
