, one day after they swarmed the home of the city's mayor, his brother and a
campaign supporter.
"The FBI is executing search warrants at various offices at Trenton City
Hall, pursuant to an ongoing investigation," said FBI spokeswoman Barbara
Woodruff.
It was not immediately clear why the raids were conducted and authorities
declined to elaborate.
Mayor Tony Mack, 46, responded to the Wednesday raids by saying he had "not
violated the public trust in any way, nor have I violated any of my public
duties."
He could not be immediately reached Thursday for comment.
Mack, a Democrat who began his term in July 2010, has been beleaguered by
questions over public finance and accusations of cronyism.
Last May, his deputy mayor, Paul Sigmund IV, was arrested and charged with
heroin possession and assaulting a police officer, which led to his prompt
resignation.
Wednesday's raids also included the homes of Mack's brother, businessman
Ralphiel Mack, and Joseph Giorgianni, a convicted sex offender. |
