Former Macomb County public works official pleads guilty in corruption scandal
Anthony Marrocco, who served as Macomb County Commissioner of Public Works from 1993 through 2016, pleaded guilty to extortion
Prosecutors say the extortion conviction of Marrocco is the final and most significant development in federal law enforcement’s years-long effort to aggressively investigate and prosecute corruption in suburban Detroit, and Macomb County in particular.
This investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Detroit Area Corruption Task Force and the Internal Revenue Service.
Some [twenty-three] public officials and bribe-paying businessmen have been charged and convicted in connection with the Macomb County corruption probe, including two defendants convicted after jury trials, as well as the conviction and imprisonment of elected Macomb County Prosecutor Eric Smith.
Bonus, for all (You) morans out there:
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Steven Cares and Robert Moran.
