Frederick B. Lacey, Who Prosecuted Corruption in New Jersey, Dies at 96 - New York Times
Monday, May 01, 2017As an imposing, 6-foot-4 United States attorney for New Jersey, Mr. Lacey smashed the corrupt Democratic machines in Essex and Hudson Counties.He successfully prosecuted Mayors Hugh J. Addonizio of Newark and Thomas J. Whelan of Jersey City; John V. Kenny, the Hudson County party boss; and Mafia leaders with whom local politicians, power brokers and officials conspired to plunder the public coffers.Within four years, Mr. Lacey and his successor, Herbert J.

He was sentenced to a year in prison.)In Federal District Court, Judge Lacey oversaw trials involving Soviet spies and payola from record companies to radio station disc jockeys. He sentenced the confessed heroin smuggler in the so-called French Connection case, involving Marseille-based traffickers who were immortalized in the 1971 film of the same name that starred Gene Hackman.He also rejected a suit by the 85-year-old widow of Bruno Richard Hauptman...
