Federal authorities in New York have arrested an investment banker on charges he lied to Citibank to get a $74 million loan.

Prosecutors accused Hassan Nemazee on Tuesday of giving Citibank documents showing he owned millions of dollars in collateral. They said documents were "fraudulent and forged."
