Vince McMahon’s attorney, Robert W. Allen, stated that federal prosecutors in Manhattan have decided to drop their criminal investigation into McMahon, which was examining whether he attempted to conceal multiple allegations of sexual misconduct.

Allen broke the news during an interview with the New York Post.

“This is simply the result of an appeal of a procedural matter that was argued five months ago,” Allen said. “We have been in consistent communication with the government since that time and understand, with no ambiguity, that the investigation has definitively concluded and will not result in charges.”

Allen’s remarks are in reference to a decision made by appeals judges on Friday, which revealed that a grand jury had examined whether McMahon broke the law by allegedly concealing sexual misconduct accusations from two former female employees. These employees were reportedly paid $10.5 million to remain silent.

On January 10, Vince McMahon settled SEC charges related to undisclosed payments. The SEC announced that McMahon agreed to pay a $400,000 civil fine and reimburse WWE $1.33 million, following an order that found he had violated the Securities Exchange Act. At the time, McMahon stated, “the case is closed.”
