BREAKING NEWS - FEDS ARREST EAST CLEVELAND MAYOR
Posted on 04/22/2004 8:31:10 AM PDT by mabelkitty
BREAKING NEWS Feds arrest East Cleveland Mayor Federal agents this morning arrested East Cleveland Mayor Emmanuel Onunwor on a 22-count indictment for accepting "bribes, kickbacks and secret payoffs" over his career as a city official. A federal grand jury has been investigating Onunwor and other city officials since last year. In January, the grand jury indicted the city's former community development director on charges of channeling federal money to her relatives through "front companies" and accepting kickbacks in return. The U.S. attorney's office said Onunwor solicited and received numerous bribes from unspecified "intermediaries" that span his career as East Cleveland City Council president, community development director and mayor. Onunwor is to appear in court this afternoon.

Too bad that they waited until too late to look at Houston's recent Mayor.
