Federal prosecutors said the investigation initially focused on a money
laundering network that operated between Brooklyn, NY; Deal, NJ; and
Israel. The network is alleged to have laundered tens of millions of
dollars through Jewish charities controlled by rabbis in New York and
New Jersey.

Prosecutors then used an informant in that investigation to help them go
after corrupt politicians. The informant - a real estate developer
charged with bank fraud three years ago - posed as a crooked businessman
and paid a string of public officials tens of thousands of dollars in
bribes to get approvals for buildings and other projects in New Jersey,
authorities said.

Among the 44 people arrested were the mayors of Hoboken, Ridgefield and
Secaucus, Jersey City's deputy mayor, and two state assemblymen. A
member of the governor's cabinet resigned after agents searched his
home, though he was not arrested. All but one of the officeholders are
Democrats.
