New Jersey Democratic power broker George Norcross, along with five others, was charged with operating a racketeering enterprise, threatening individuals, and manipulating tax incentive legislation for personal gain. The charges were announced by New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin, who emphasized the importance of holding individuals accountable for prioritizing personal interests over the public good.
The 111-page indictment alleges that Norcross and his associates, referred to as the 'Norcross Enterprise,' leveraged political influence to pass legislation that served their own interests. Among the accusations is a claim that Norcross threatened a developer in Camden, New Jersey, regarding waterfront property rights, using profanity and intimidation tactics.
