As part of the alleged bribes, Nagin's family members received a vacation in Hawaii; first-class airfare to Jamaica; private jet travel and a limousine for New York City totaling $23,500; and cellular phone service, the indictment said.
According to the indictment, the bribing businessmen allegedly received city contracts of $1 million for consulting, more than $3 million to build a project at Louis Armstrong International Airport, and $1 million for another airport project, the indictment said. Other contracts were for sidewalk repairs in the French Quarter and professional services, authorities allege.
Among the conspiracy charges is an accusation that Nagin awarded "no bid" work to a city contractor who provided "concealed and direct campaign monies" to Nagin, the indictment says.
Nagin allegedly received bribes from city contractors in the amounts of $60,000, $2,250, $50,000 and $10,000, the indictment says.
He also is accused of receiving a bribe in the form of granite inventory from a city construction contractor.
Nagin faces nine counts of honest services wire fraud, alleging he received nine wire transfers amounting to $12,500 each that were bribes or kickback payoffs from the same city construction contractor in 2010 and 2011, the indictment says. Those bribed totaled $112,500. In his 2005 tax return -- the same year that Katrina hit the Gulf Coast -- Nagin allegedly filed a false tax return claiming his income was $156,278, the indictment says.
He is also accused of filing false returns for 2006 listing his income at $170,364, for 2007 with an income of $31,163, and for 2008 with a $143,852 income, the indictment said.

We have long realized that where party affiliation is omitted by the MSM, the perp has to be a Rat!
I've known that politicians in LA and New Orleans were absolutely, unrelentingly and irreparably corrupt since I became aware of politics in the 1950's.
It's been so bad for so long that my parents used to offer up an excuse for NM back in that time.
It was "thank god for LA".
If not for LA, NM would have been and might still be the most corrupt State in the Union.
There have been some articles over the past day or so but
I’ve not seen anything on the national tv news.

Maybe he can get assigned to a chocolate cell block.

Whoa. Did my lying eyes deceive me again? I thought it said that Eric the Corrupt indicted one of His Arrogance’s possible son candidates. I guess even his son must pay his fees (or tax if you like) to the Chicago Group, LLC.
Now, whenever a Conservative complains about the targeting of tea-partiers, leftist talking heads will cite Nagin as proof that ubama/holder are balanced in their prosecutions...
Admiral Nagan hits the rocks......beach em.
He should be in jail for leaving the school buses empty and flooded.
This story is over a year old. Right?
I hope he gets at least 30 days in jail bit he probably won’t.
Just another example of Mychal Massie’s asertion that the “Black Elite” are living “N-——er Rich.”
good catch, they are doing jury selection for the trial now. http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/27/justice/nagin-trial/index.html?iref=allsearch
Why am I not seeing this anywhere else, not even on Drudge?
Oh, I see this is a year-old story. Why post it now?
