A federal jury last month convicted Fumo of 137 counts for defrauding the Citizens Alliance for Better Neighborhoods, the Senate and a seaport museum of $3.5 million.

Attorney General Tom Corbett filed documents Tuesday demanding the shutdown and a complete accounting of the nonprofit founded by Fumo and run by his former aide and co-defendant, Ruth Arnao. She was convicted of 45 counts.

Corbett said the lawsuit alleges that Fumo and Arnao diverted approximately $1.9 million of Citizens Alliance's money for personal use and political advantage. The nonprofit received state taxpayer-funded grants and private donations to fund its activities.
