Democratic power broker George Norcross and his allies have been charged in a years-long racketeering investigation, New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin announced Monday in Trenton.

TRENTON , N.J. — On Monday, Platkin alongside the Office of Public Integrity & Accountability unsealed a 13-count, 111-paged indictment charging Norcross with leading a criminal enterprise, along with five co-defendants in South Jersey and elsewhere. Platkin added in the afternoon press conference that several other people were involved in the criminal activity but they have not been indicted nor were they identified.

Redd's attorney, Henry Klingeman, said the former Camden mayor was surprised by Monday's legal action: 'She's done nothing wrong. What she has done is serve the Camden community in public and not-for-profit roles for more than three decades. She has cooperated fully with the grand jury investigation for over a year and is unaware of evidence of wrongdoing by her or others.
