Parks Official Pleads Guilty in $1.5M Kickback Scheme | Jersey News
Description
A former Hudson County Parks official, Russell Fallacara, just admitted to being part of a massive $1.5 million kickback scheme that spanned five years, where he and former Parks Director Thomas DeLeo accepted cash, home repairs, and perks from paving contractor William Murray in exchange for steering lucrative park contracts his way. Fallacara personally pocketed over $400,000 and luxury home upgrades, while both he and DeLeo tried to launder the money and cover their tracks — now facing up to 20 years in prison. Murray also pleaded guilty. This joint FBI and Department of Labor investigation exposes how corruption erodes public trust and delivers justice to those who defrauded the county.
