George Norcross Indicted on Racketeering Charges
Former New Jersey power broker George Norcross arrested
Indictment alleges racketeering, extortion, and wire fraud
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — George Norcross, a long-time Democratic power broker in New Jersey, was charged Monday with operating a racketeering enterprise that allegedly used extortion, wire fraud, and tax evasion to further his political and business interests.
The indictment, unsealed in state court in Mercer County, accuses Norcross and five other individuals of engaging in a pattern of criminal activity over a decade. The charges include extortion, money laundering, wire fraud, and tax evasion.
Norcross, 68, now lives in Florida but appeared uninvited at a news conference on Monday shortly after the indictment was made public. He has not yet entered a plea and is scheduled to appear in court for a bail hearing on Tuesday.
