CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) -
A new Cuyahoga County corruption charge was filed on Monday morning.
The United States Attorney's Office filed a one-count information charging Charles Randazzo with extortion. [Read the entire information HERE]
Randazzo was the managing member of Financial Network of America, a Twinsburg financial company.
Prosecutors say both Frank Russo and Jimmy Dimora received items from the company in exchange for lucrative county contracts.
Bribes Russo and Dimora took include food, wine, and tickets for Cavs Club seats. And in 2004, both Russo and Dimora got a palm tree for their backyard, and Dimora even received a tiki hut.
