George Norcross, a prominent Democratic power broker and southern New Jersey insurance magnate, was indicted on Monday in connection with an alleged tax incentive development scheme. The state alleges that Norcross, who is the brother of U.S. Representative Donald Norcross, leveraged his influential position in Camden, NJ to orchestrate a conspiracy involving pressure, extortion, and the manipulation of incentives towards specific individuals and business entities on the Camden waterfront.
The indictment specifies that Norcross and his associates managed to accrue over $240 million in tax credits through their actions. The 13-count racketeering conspiracy, spanning roughly a decade, includes charges of extortion and criminal coercion, elucidating the complex web of influence and illegal activities shaping the scheme.
