No further details were available.
The arrest was first reported by the Orange County Register.
Democrats have continued to use Durkee as a treasurer despite a number of actions and dozens of warning letters from the California Fair Politican Practices Commission
State Sen. Lou Correa of Santa Ana told the Register the FBI notified him late Friday that he was one of many victims. Correa said he believes he has lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign funds. Durkee had been his campaign treasurer since 1995.
Federal Election Commission records show Durkee is treasurer for U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein and U.S. Rep. Loretta Sanchez of Orange County, a host of state assemblymen and senators, city councilmen and political action committees.
