Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost announced recent indictments following a long-term investigation into individuals and entities associated with the House Bill 6 scandal.
Watch the announcement in the video player below:
HB6 was a scandal-ridden bill that forced ratepayers to spend millions funding “dirty” coal plants and resulted in a 20-year prison sentence for former House Speaker Larry Householder for his part in the largest corruption scandal in state history.
A jury found that Householder and former GOP leader Matt Borges, beyond a reasonable doubt, participated in a racketeering scheme that left four men guilty and another dead by suicide.
Recent court documents have indicated that the investigation into the FirstEnergy bailout scandal was continuing.
