New Jersey Political Power Broker George Norcross Indicted on Racketeering Charges

The indictment accuses Norcross and allies of using political influence to dominate Camden's lucrative real estate market.

State Attorney General Matt Platkin announced multiple charges including first-degree racketeering against Norcross and five others.
The indictment details a decade-long scheme involving coercion, extortion, and manipulation of tax credit legislation.
Philip Norcross, George's brother, allegedly acted as a 'fixer' to secure deals and intimidate rivals.
Former Camden Mayor Dana Redd is also implicated, accused of aiding the Norcross enterprise and benefiting from its schemes.
The charges come amid a turbulent period for New Jersey Democrats, with ongoing corruption cases and internal party conflicts.
