Insurance-fraud agents have raided the health-care business of an Episcopal priest from Pennsylvania after his expensive partying in New York City came to light, it was revealed yesterday.
Investigators with the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office removed filing cabinets and records from NewLife Home Care Inc. in Pittston, Pa., a private business run by the Rev. Gregory Malia.
Malia, who was ordained in 2001, has been under scrutiny by his church since December, when reports surfaced about him spending thousands of dollars on top-shelf alcohol and leaving five-figure tips at some of the trendiest nightclubs in Big Apple.
The Diocese of Bethlehem Episcopal Church almost immediately suspended Malia from his duties as a priest and vicar of a small church in Susquehanna County and began an investigation.
Diocese spokesman Bill Lewellis said Malia had six months to "make matters completely right" or be defrocked.
Malia has said the reports are exaggerated and defended his bar hopping as integral to entrepreneurial and church fund-raising activities.
