Massachusetts man faces bribery, extortion and other charges related to a casino project
Fox News
A Mashpee Wampanoag tribe man will appear in Boston federal court for charges related to a planned casino project.
Federal prosecutors say Cromwell used his position to extort tens of thousands of dollars in bribes and engaged in a conspiracy to commit bribery with DeQuattro.
They say DeQuattro provided Cromwell with payments and other benefits valued at nearly $60,000 in exchange for nearly $5 million in contracts. Prosecutors allege Cromwell then spent the payments on personal expenses.
Cromwell's lawyer didn’t respond to emails seeking comment Monday. DeQuattro's lawyer said his client simply donated to Cromwell's political campaign.
