NEW YORK (AP) — Prosecutors have brought fraud charges against Bernard Madoff's longtime accountant.

The charges against David Friehling expand the case against Madoff as prosecutors go after other people who may have been involved in Madoff's sprawling fraud.

Friehling ran an accounting office in a nondescript suburban building north of New York City, and quickly drew scrutiny after the Madfoff scandal broke. He had served as Madoff's auditor for several years. He faces up to 105 years in prison if convicted of the fraud charges.

Madoff pleaded guilty last week to what could be the largest fraud in history.
