Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick To Face New Federal Charges For Corruption and Racketeering

Read report below:

Kwame Kilpatrick faces brand new federal charges in the explosive corruption and racketeering case that has dogged the former Mayor of Detroit for the past four years since being formally charged with obstruction of justice, perjury and misconduct while in office. The latest reports state that Kilpatrick and a contractor pal shook down a city towing contractor to the tune of $90,000.

Bobby Ferguson, a close friend of former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, was charged with seven counts of money laundering, according to a superseding indictment filed in U.S. District Court back in November.

This latest indictment follows a long list of charges against Kilpatrick, his father Bernard, other family members and even those from his former administration. With the prosecutors naming the group a criminal enterprise, the charges levied upon the so-called “Kilpatrick Enterprise” include racketeering, extortion, bribery, tax evasion and fraud.

Kwame Kilpatrick is due in court on September 6 this year.

The charges are related to Ferguson’s alleged attempts to conceal $1.7 million in extorted payments that he received for no-show work from a contractor. The indictment also offered a new, stunning allegation that Kilpatrick pocketed a $10,000 kickback in a restroom. Source
