LOS ANGELES, Jan 15 — Celebrity lawyer Michael Avenatti was arrested yesterday on accusations that he violated the terms of his release from custody while awaiting trial on charges that he sought to extort millions of dollars from Nike Inc, federal prosecutors said. Mrozek said that he could not discuss the allegations that led to Avenatti's arrest because the documents had been sealed by a judge. An arrest warrant filed in US District Court in New York does not spell out the accusations.

Earlier yesterday, a federal judge in New York rejected a request by Avenatti to delay his trial in the Nike case after his lawyers complained that prosecutors had overwhelmed them with a “document dump” of new material.
