New Jersey politicians arrested on corruption charges
Two New Jersey mayors and a New Jersey assemblyman were among those arrested this week on political corruption charges. These arrests stem from an international money laundering and corruption probe that includes leaders from the Jewish community as well. The arrests of these 30 individuals are the result of a two year FBI and IRS probe. The mayors of Hoboken and Secaucus were among those arrested. Further, the Monmouth County Prosecutor's office and the IRS seized evidence from a Yeshiva in Deal, New Jersey. As you can see, this was a statewide effort from Hoboken to Monmouth County to crack down on political corruption. It appears that the United States Attorney's Office is working together with New Jersey officials (such as the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office) to lead this investigation.
