A bribery scheme in Mississippi's capital city has led to guilty pleas from several high-ranking officials. The former mayor and City Council president pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges. Their pleas came after the Hinds County District Attorney pleaded guilty and resigned.
The guilty pleas are part of a larger bribery case. Two other individuals, a former City Council vice president and a businessman, had already pleaded guilty to bribery charges. The case involves allegations of bribe payments and officials taking money from individuals posing as real estate developers.
Further details on the case are available from KPRC 2 Houston, including the specifics of the indictment and the amounts of money involved.
