Federal officers arrested Ohio state House Speaker Larry Householder and four others Tuesday over their alleged connection with a $60 million bribery case.
The arrest was confirmed by a source involved in the investigation, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Ohio announced the federal racketeering case Tuesday in a press release.
The others arrested included an advisor to Householder and three political consultants. Matthew Borges, one of the consultants, is a former chair of the Ohio Republican Party, USA Today reported.
A spokesman for U.S. Attorney David DeVillers described the case as a “public corruption racketeering conspiracy involving $60 million.”
