New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin charged Democrat power broker George Norcross and others on Monday with racketeering.
In a 13-count indictment, Platkin accused the political kingmaker of leading a “criminal enterprise” in the Garden State.
“The Norcross enterprise manipulated government programs and processes designed to attract development and investment to instead suit their own financial desires,” Platkin said at a press conference, with an uninvited Norcross sitting sockless in the front row. “Instead of contributing to the successes of the city of Camden, through a series of criminal acts alleged in the state’s case, the Norcross enterprise took the Camden waterfront all for themselves.”
Norcross’s brother Phillip was among the handful of others charged.
