TRENTON, N.J. - The FBI arrested 11 public officials across New Jersey Thursday on charges of taking thousands of dollars in bribes in exchange for influencing the awarding of public contracts, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.
Two of those arrested are state lawmakers, two are mayors, three are city councilmen and several served on the school board in Pleasantville, where the scandal began.
All 11 plus a private individual are charged with taking cash payments of $1,500 to $17,500 to influence public contracts, according to criminal complaints against them, said Michael Drewniak, a spokesman for U.S. Attorney Christopher J. Christie.
