Federal Prosecutors Unraveling Huge Corruption Scandal

Here is an article from Sunday's Las Vegas Review Journal that is worth a read. We pulled some tidbits:

Federal prosecutors have identified 75 to 100 co-conspirators, including judges, attorneys and former police officers, at various levels of a massive fraud scheme involving Las Vegas Valley home­owners associations, the Las Vegas Review-Journal has learned.

Some 25 to 30 targets of the investigation are taking plea deals that will ensure their cooperation in the prosecution of as many as two dozen high-level players in the scheme.

The long-running investigation appears to be entering a new phase at the hands of the Justice Department lawyers from Washington, D.C., who recently took over the case.

The shift came in part because of suspicion that the U.S. attorney's office in Las Vegas had stalled the investigation.

Read more as it also details corrupt federal prosecutors, a Las Vegas police officer's suicide (after being implicated), a death plot of a key lawyer involved, and more.
