bribery

Former Ohio Speaker Larry Householder is serving 20 years in federal prison for orchestrating a $61 million bribery scheme that launched his return to political power in exchange for bailing out two nuclear power plants owned by FirstEnergy.

The deal is the latest in the $60 million bribery scheme that involved Republican former speaker Larry Householder and former Ohio Republican Party chair Matt Borges, who are both in federal prison.

Randazzo, 74, was charged with 11 counts, including one count of conspiring to commit travel act bribery and honest services wire fraud, two counts of travel act bribery, two counts of honest services wire fraud, one count of wire fraud and five counts of making illegal monetary transactions.

The former Republican legislative leader accused of helping orchestrate a $60 million bribery scheme has asked a judge to dismiss a conspiracy charge against him.
