Former Barrington Hills couple accused of bankruptcy fraud

A dentist and his wife, both formerly of Barrington Hills, were indicted Tuesday by a federal grand jury on charges of making false statements in a bankruptcy.

Both Daniel Apostolopoulos, 52, and Soula Apostolopoulos, 45, filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition and concealed financial interests, according to a news release.

The husband filed a bankruptcy petition on Oct. 23, 2009, and his wife filed one on March 4, 2010.

The indictment alleges that Daniel purposely did not reveal his interest in a checking account, a Chicago restaurant and Wisconsin property.

It also states he "failed to disclose his relationships with his father-in-law and sister-in-law, to whom he had transferred a Volvo and a Mercedes automobile within two years of filing, as well as concealing his prior ownership in other financial accounts," according to the news release.

Soula did not reveal the income she earned from her interest in a Chicago restaurant she had bought with her husband or her interest in Wisconsin property and in financial accounts during the year before the bankruptcy filing, authorities allege.
