NJ Dem kingmaker indicted on racketeering charges

George Norcross, a long-time Democratic political influencer in New Jersey, was charged with racketeering in a 13-count, 111-page indictment unsealed on Monday.

Alongside Norcross, his brother Phillip and four other defendants were also charged.

New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin accused Norcross of leading a “criminal enterprise” in South Jersey that manipulated political influence for economic gain in Camden’s waterfront redevelopment.

Entities like Cooper Health and Conner Strong & Buckelew benefited financially from the scheme.

Norcross, now a Florida resident, attended Platkin’s press conference in Trenton, where Platkin stated that Norcross had been running the enterprise for over twelve years, causing significant harm to various stakeholders, especially in Camden.

The indictment against George Norcross details his criminal conduct, including threats to a developer holding property rights crucial for building the tallest structure on Camden’s waterfront. Norcross allegedly threatened the developer with severe consequences if he did not comply.

Phillip Norcross, managing shareholder and CEO of Parker McCay law firm, and chairman of the Cooper Foundation, is among the defendants, CNBC has reported.
