Democratic power broker George Norcross faces racketeering charges in New Jersey after running a "criminal enterprise" for 12 years. Find out who else was charged and the details of the scheme.

Democratic power broker George Norcross, known for his influence in South Jersey, has been charged with racketeering after New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin revealed a 12-year scheme involving the Triad1828 Centre. The indictment alleges Norcross presided over a criminal enterprise to benefit from redevelopment projects in Camden, NJ. This marks a significant fall from grace for Norcross, who has long been a key figure in Democratic politics.

Alongside Norcross, several others were charged in connection with the racketeering allegations. The accusations brought by AG Matthew Platkin have sent shockwaves through the political landscape, revealing the extent of corruption and abuse of power in the state. The charges shed light on a darker side of political influence where threats and intimidation were reportedly used to secure development rights.

Despite being a powerful figure in New Jersey politics, Norcross now faces the legal consequences of his alleged actions. The case highlights the importance of transparency and accountability in the political realm, showing that even the most influential individuals are not above the law.

In a surprising turn of events, George Norcross, once a Democratic kingmaker, now finds himself at the center of a high-profile legal battle. The outcome of this case could reshape the political landscape in South Jersey and beyond, bringing into question the integrity of the political system and the extent of corruption within it.
