A New Jersey political power broker, George Norcross, has been indicted by the state attorney general on 13 charges related to his alleged involvement in a scheme to illegally obtain millions of dollars in tax credits and extorting a property developer into selling a commercial real estate property. 

Mr. Norcross “led a criminal enterprise whose members and associates agreed the enterprise would extort others through threats and fear of economic and reputational harm and commit other criminal offenses to achieve the enterprise’s goals,” the indictment says.
