She allegedly used falsified documents to take possession of her mother\u2019s house, stole money from her mother\u2019s bank accounts and made purchases on a credit card she fraudulently opened in her mother\u2019s name.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors said an investigation over Areu\u2019s activities was started in 2019 after reports they received that documents had been filed concerning her mother\u2019s house. The files featured signatures of her mother, which she denied were hers. Areu used a trip to Mexico to evade questioning and arrest since June, Florida state attorneys said. On Friday, Areu was being held at the county jail without bond.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/florida-state-government-2f5e05456068c867d7b7fcc7167d1534\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Associated Press reported Areu\" class=\"link\">The Associated Press reported Areu<\/a> sued Fox News and hosts Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity in 2020, alleging sexual harassment.

According to the AP, Areu\u2019s Fox News profile had said she was a former political editor for the Washington Post Magazine from 2001 to 2012, and in 2001 founded the Catalina magazine.
