The arrest of 11 public officials in New Jersey has put an insurance broker front and center in a sting operation that developed for over a year and involved thousands of dollars in bribes, according to prosecution documents.
On Sept. 6 the U.S. Department of Justice announced the arrest of 11 public officials for taking bribes in exchange for placing insurance brokerage services and roofing contracts with municipal entities in Atlantic, Passaic and Essex Counties.
Key movers in the scheme were two individuals identified by the Justice Department as cooperating witnesses one and two, who met with the public officials.
