Hoboken Mayor Arrested by FBI
While not exactly real estate news, I think this news is definatley relevant to Hoboken Residents.
The mayors of two New Jersey cities, one of them being Hoboken's Peter Cammarano, and a state legislator are under arrest Thursday as part of a major corruption and international money laundering conspiracy probe.
Federal prosecutors say about 30 people have been arrested. They include Assemblyman Daniel Van Pelt, Hoboken Mayor Peter Cammarano III, Secaucus Mayor Dennis Elwell and Jersey City Deputy Mayor Leona Beldini. Federal prosecutors say several rabbis in New York and New Jersey are also arrested.
Cars are backed up four deep with suspects outside the FBI's Newark office.
Newark Mayor Cory Booker, who has fought corruption in New Jersey' largest city, says it's "an unbelievable morning so far."
No other information is immediately available.
