"Cold Cash" Jefferson Finally Indicted

I have been wondering what had happened to this case. On the surface it seemed like they had him cold -- or at least his money.

Rep. William Jefferson Indicted on 16 Counts:
"WASHINGTON -- Rep. William Jefferson, D-La., was indicted Monday on federal charges of racketeering, soliciting bribes and money-laundering in a long-running bribery investigation into business deals he tried to broker in Africa.

The indictment handed up in federal court in Alexandria., Va., Monday is 94 pages long and lists 16 alleged violations of federal law that could keep Jefferson in prison for up to 235 years, according to a Justice Department official who has seen the document." More.
