Former Rhode Island speaker to plead guilty to corruption charges

2015-03-03 18:21:23| Jewelry - Topix.net

The former speaker of Rhode Island's statehouse was due to plead guilty on Tuesday to federal charges, admitting he used campaign funds to buy baubles at Tiffany and accepted more than $50,000 in bribes, according to officials and court papers. Democrat Gordon Fox has agreed to a plea deal under which he will serve three years in federal prison for bribery, wire fraud and filing a false tax return during his two decades in office, a tenure that ended abruptly in March 2012 when he resigned three days after the Federal Bureau of Investigation raided his home and office.
