"Roche closing longtime N.J. home" Associated Press, June 27, 2012
TRENTON, N.J. — Swiss drug maker Roche Holding AG is closing its former US headquarters, a sprawling facility where the groundbreaking drugs Valium and interferon were invented.
The move is part of a consolidation of research programs that will eliminate 1,000 jobs and shut down the site in Nutley, N.J., by the end of 2013....

"NYC man gets 2 1/2 years for illegal kidney sales" by Samantha Henry | Associated Press, July 12, 2012
TRENTON, N.J. — A New York City man was sentenced to 2½ years in prison Wednesday in what experts said was the first federal conviction for profiting from the illegal sale of human organs.
Levy Izhak Rosenbaum, an Israeli native who lives in Brooklyn, pleaded guilty in October to brokering three illegal kidney transplants for New Jersey-based customers in exchange for payments of $120,000 or more.

Just got a glimpse.
The 61-year-old showed little reaction to the sentence. He was swarmed by well-wishers who had packed the federal courtroom in Trenton to show their support.
Ever notice all the phony patsy plots by the Fascist Bureau of Instigation at least get coverage of the opening and verdict as well? This had to be one of the quietest trials ever, and I think we all know why.
Rosenbaum was arrested in July 2009 in a sweeping federal case that became the largest corruption sting in New Jersey history.
Prosecutors allege Rosenbaum would buy organs from vulnerable people in Israel for as little as $10,000 and sell them to desperate patients for more than $100,000.
The transplants took place at top US hospitals, including at the Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia....
The thought of worldwide organ-harvesting rings is repulsive, and yet it's out there.

"Huge N.J. corruption case trial set to open" by Associated Press | January 25, 2010
NEWARK - The first trial in New Jersey’s largest-ever corruption investigation is set to begin in a federal courthouse in Newark this week.
Oh, now it is SIMPLY a CORRUPTION TRIAL, huh?
I'm surprised it even got a brief.

The public finally will get to see Solomon Dwek in action: a government cooperator who secretly recorded hours of meetings at restaurants, diners, and parking lots over two years, showing religious leaders, politicians, and municipal employees in various states of alleged wrongdoing.
It has been six months since the mammoth corruption inquiry resulted in 44 arrests. The dramatic July 23 takedown included early-morning raids from synagogues to city halls and allegations of bribes distributed in cash-stuffed cereal boxes. Prosecutors say the money-laundering operations were so large they were referred to as laundromats.
It also produced one of the more memorable perp walks in New Jersey’s history: Elderly rabbis in long black coats, sweat-suited municipal employees, and assorted bleary-eyed elected officials paraded in handcuffs off a fleet of buses for processing at FBI headquarters.
And it just as quickly faded from the MSM memory, notice that?
Among the defendants: Three mayors, two state assemblymen, and other public officials charged with corruption, prominent rabbis from Brooklyn and Deal, N.J. charged with money laundering, and in one case, a man charged with brokering the sale of a human kidney.
Like an alcoholic always says, "I just had one."
Ten have pleaded guilty, and the rest are awaiting trial. But the man everyone wants to hear is Dwek, the cooperating witness and son of a prominent rabbi that the US government is hanging almost its entire case on.
So reports the concealing Zionist MSM, anyhow.

"FBI raids Trenton mayor’s home" by Andrew Duffelmeyer | Associated Press, July 19, 2012
TRENTON, N.J. — FBI agents staged a middle-of-the-night raid Wednesday at the home of Trenton’s mayor, whose administration of the state’s impoverished capital city has been marked by accusations of cronyism and reckless spending.
The agents also searched the home of his brother and a convicted sex offender who was one of his biggest early campaign donors.
Mayor Tony Mack, emerging later from his home, denied any wrongdoing involving his office.
‘‘We have not violated the public trust nor have I violated any of my public duties,’’ he said.
The FBI declined to provide any details.
Under an agreement reached last year, the Democrat can hire department heads only from a pool of applicants the state offers or he risks losing $6 million in state aid. He faces questions on how he financed his campaign.

"N.J. city hall raided by FBI" Associated Press, July 20, 2012
TRENTON, N.J. — FBI agents raided City Hall in New Jersey’s capital on Thursday, a day after searching the home of the city’s embattled mayor, his brother, and a campaign donor.
The FBI said it had a search warrant for several offices but declined to be specific.
Recently appointed city business administrator Sam Hutchinson, whose department was among those searched, told The Trentonian that FBI agents were also in the office of Mayor Tony Mack.
Mack, 46, denied wrongdoing on Wednesday after the FBI searched his home and those of Ralphiel Mack and businessman Joseph Giorgianni, a campaign donor who is a convicted sex offender.
A reply to an e-mail sent Thursday to the mayor’s top aide was not immediately sent.
The Democrat’s first two years in office have been marked by repeated accusations of reckless spending, cronyism, and mismanagement.
And they are supposed to be the "clean" party.

"Troopers face charges of tampering" Associated Press, July 28, 2012
TRENTON, N.J. — Two state troopers who led a caravan of luxury cars at speeds of more than 100 miles per hour in March were charged Friday with records-tampering after an inquiry found they taped up their plates to conceal involvement in the improper escort, which jeopardized public safety and undermined trust in the State Police, the attorney general said....
Pretty hard to undermine trust in any government institution these days.
By hiding their plate numbers, the drivers sped through tolls on the Garden State Parkway without paying, the attorney general said, creating what he described as a ‘‘mirage.’’
I'll bet it looked like one.
