The New Orleans article linked above (which could only be excerpted) included this line:

Prosecutors in Cleveland have said the wiretaps led them to a much larger web of corrupt activity in various locations, including New Orleans, Houston, Chicago, Detroit and California. According to a brief filed in the Onunwor case, the conversations helped investigators uncover evidence of a range of "corruption offenses and financial crimes," from wire fraud to extortion to money laundering.

I wonder if it was tied to Ed McNamara(Disgrace to those of Irish blood everywhere) - who was the county exec in Wayne County known for no bid contracts, mostly with the airport. He was more of a suburbs guy than Detroit city, but he was involved in all of it.
