New Jersey Dem Powerbroker Charged in Bombshell Racketeering Case

George Norcross was the target of the Monday indictment alleging a decades-old corruption scheme in which he and his allies made millions of dollars from government-issued tax credits, exerted immense control over elected officials, and unlawfully obtained valuable property rights. Norcross, a businessman, has had previous encounters with law enforcement but has never been indicted before.

Norcross "led a criminal enterprise," the indictment claims, that "would extort others through threats and fear of economic and reputational harm and commit other criminal offenses to achieve the enterprise’s goals."
