New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin, a Democrat, unsealed the indictment, which alleges that Norcross used his political influence to acquire waterfront real estate in Camden, N.J.
The 111-page indictment names five other individuals who were also charged.

WOW! How bad does it need to be for a democrat to be indicted in Joisy?
If you’re going to get waterfront property in NJ, you go to the EAST SIDE of the state where the Atlantic is, or Cape May, not Camden on the stinky Delaware River. In other words, if you’re going to racketeer, go for something worth racketeering for.
(FD: I spent the first 13 years of my life in near-to-Camden south joisey, and we went down the shore, not down the river. Of course, this soon-to-be convicted felon (where have we heard that phrase lately?) will be going up, not down the river. Maybe, since he’s a Democrat.)
You have to get in the pocket of someone who has the power to retaliate, should have just paid what was promised.
“WOW! How bad does it need to be for a democrat to be indicted in Joisy?”
That was pretty much my thought. Jersey and waterfront property real estate corruption is pretty much baked into the business there. From what I’ve heard you have to know someone (Norcross?) to even have a chance of purchasing that high dollar real estate.
"That Assemblyman Zellman is worth every penny you're paying him."
It’s NJ, they never tolerate corruption, they demand it.
Has to be politically expedient. See? We’re evenhanded.
I wonder what he did to piss Biden off.
Politics is business as usual in New Jersey.
Not!!! 🤓
What was hilarious was Norcross appearing at the press conference and seating himself on the front row. They tried to get him to move but he refused to do so and thus the tone of the press conference changed a bit.
A reporter took his picture and casually asked him how he was doing as if at a reception or such event. Norcross then attempted to do a competing press conferences but was stopped from doing so. That takes gumption!
I’m not sure why they finally decided to go after Norcross but there must be a bigger fish wanting to take over the pond. I bet he skates on all the charges.
