Former Bergen County Democratic chairman indicted in alleged racketeering scheme

Joseph A. Ferriero, the former chairman of the Bergen County Democratic Organization, was indicted today by a federal grand jury for allegedly running a racketeering scheme in which he paid lucrative kickbacks to a public official, solicited more than a million dollars in illegal payments and extorted companies wanting to do business in Bergen County.

The 74-page indictment marks another major setback for a political figure who for years was known as a forceful, statewide Democratic powerbroker and kingmaker. In October 2009, the 56-year-old politician was convicted by a federal jury of public corruption, but a year later the conviction was vacated by a judge.
