Paul Thorsen faces 22 counts of wire fraud and money laundering related to an alleged scheme to divert CDC grant money, intended for autism and infant disability research, to his personal bank account.
Thorsen was originally indicted in 2011 but evaded authorities for years before his arrest in Germany last June.
