Prosecutors are likely to file additional charges against former pharmaceutical executive Martin Shkreli and his onetime lawyer Evan Greebel, prosecutors have told defense lawyers.

Lawyers for. Messrs. Shkreli and Greebel, who were arrested on fraud charges last year, told a federal judge on Tuesday that prosecutors informed them of the possible new charges in a recent meeting.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Winston Paes confirmed during the hearing the government is considering filing new charges related to the pair’s alleged defrauding of pharmaceutical company Retrophin Inc., where Mr. Shkreli was previously chief executive.

Prosecutors will make a final decision on filing a new indictment within the month, Mr. Paes said during the hearing in Brooklyn federal court on Tuesday.
