New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin (D) on Monday charged Democratic power broker George Norcross and five others with first-degree racketeering in a 13-count indictment, that, among other things, said he channeled tax breaks to himself and others in his circle.
Also on Monday, Norcross — a longtime kingmaker in the world of New Jersey Democratic politics — sat front row at the news conference in Trenton, N.J., as Platkin announced the charges. As some eagle-eyed social media users noted, the suit-clad Norcross was wearing shoes without socks.
“The state alleges that George Norcross has been running a criminal enterprise in the state for at least the last 12 years,” Platkin said. “This alleged conduct of the Norcross enterprise has caused great harm to individuals, businesses, nonprofits, the people of the state of New Jersey and especially, especially to the city of Camden and its residents.”
A bullish Norcross showed up to Platkin’s news conference Monday, listened to the attorney general, denounced the charges, and called Platkin — a fellow Democrat — a “coward,” according to the Associated Press.
