Maintaining the public’s trust in its elected officials is one of the Department of Justice’s core responsibilities.”
The four members of the Toledo city council and the associated attorney have been charged with distributing various ‘benefits’ in exchange for votes. The FBI has said that the defendants accepted monetary and valuable non-monetary gifts from local business owners. All were tantamount to bribes to influence city leaders’ votes.
