The former chief financial officer of the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation is due in court tomorrow to plead guilty to state and federal charges, alleging he took payoffs from contractors doing business with his agency, authorities said.

Terrence Gasper, 59, is due first in U.S. District Court in Akron to answer federal racketeering charges, and then in state court in Columbus on charges of money laundering and violating ethics laws, said Christy McCreary, a spokesperson for Franklin County.

The charges are the product of a state and federal task force that is continuing to investigate the case, which has shaken up the Ohio political scene. Task force officials have scheduled a press conference to discuss the probe after Mr. Gasper's court appearances.
