WASHINGTON—A major Democratic lobbyist and fund-raiser was arrested Thursday and indicted on charges of making hundreds of thousands of dollars of illegal campaign contributions to members of Congress.

The 11-count indictment by the Department of Justice against Paul Magliocchetti, the founder of the now-defunct lobbying outfit PMA Group, brings for Democrats new and unwelcome attention to continuing ethics controversies ensnaring some of the party's lawmakers.

Mr. Magliocchetti appeared Thursday in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia and was released after he surrendered his passport and provided a $2 million bond. He is living at a psychiatric facility in Baltimore, the court said.

His attorney didn't respond to requests for comment.
