Legal Question in Criminal Law in Louisiana

My husband was fired from his job due to alleged internal theft. He was using his PayPal account to sell products on behalf of his employer but they allege that he kept some of the funds. He was then charged with one count of felony theft in the amount of $1500. We have a lawyer and the case is being reviewed by the DA's Office. As of last week we were told they still don't have the answers they need to pursue the charges. At this time his ex-employer's son has begun sending emails to individuals who sent money to his PayPal account and referencing PayPal transaction IDs, dates, and dollar amounts. They are telling the recipient that they are investigating a purchase they made from [his former employer] even though that is not the case. I understand that the investigating entity could have subpoenaed PayPal for the transaction records, but is there any reason why those records would have been handed over to his ex-boss? I got a call today from a personal friend who had just received one of these emails. She said the date is 8/26/2013. This is a personal friend that we often buy concert tickets for who pays us back through a PayPal friends and family transfer. Is this normal? Would someone's personal banking records be turned over to the accusers for their perusal and "investigation"? We are beside ourselves with anger and frustration.

No! This person is either conducting his own inquiry or interfering with law enforcement's. Give this information to your lawyer.
