A KEY WITNESS IS COOPERATING IN THE LONG-RUNNING MACOMB COUNTY BRIBERY SCANDAL.
FORMER MACOMB TWP TRUSTEE DINO BUCCI IS REPORTED TO BE HELPING THE FBI AS THEY INVESTIGATE HIS FORMER BOSS ANTHONY MARROCCO. BUCCI IS CHARGED WITH BRIBERY, FRAUD, EXTORTION, THEFT AND MONEY LAUNDERING CHARGES IN A WIDE RANGING PROBE OF CORRUPTION IN MACOMB COUNTY THAT COULD GET HIM 20 YEARS IN JAIL. IT APPEARS BUCCI MAY BE COOPERATING WITH THE GOVERNMENT AND A PLEA DEAL IS PART OF THE PACKAGE. A DELAY IN BUCCI’S UPCOMING TRIAL WAS ASKED FOR BY U-S ATTORNEY MATTHEW SCHNEIDER AND WAS GRANTED. COURT RECORDS ACCUSE BUCCI OF POCKETING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, EXTORTING CONTRACTORS, FORCING COUNTY EMPLOYEES TO DRIVE HIS CHILD TO SCHOOL AND PLOW THE SNOW AT HIS HOME.
