FirstEnergy subpoenaed by state for role in $61 million bribery scheme
WEWS: Michael Benza, professor of practice, and Jonathan Entin, the David L. Brennan Professor Emeritus of Law, discussed the state investigation into FirstEnergy for its role in bribing lawmakers to benefit the failing company. The corporation already pleaded guilty in the federal case. “It often comes as a surprise to people to learn that you can be charged with the same crime by two different jurisdictions,” Benza said.
