Mayor of Camden Guilty of Corruption
Camden Mayor Milton Milan was convicted of taking mob payoffs, laundering drug money and stealing campaign funds, becoming the third of the last five mayors of New Jersey’s poorest city to be found guilty of corruption. Milan, 38, was convicted of 14 of the 19 charges against him. He faces nine to 11 years in prison at sentencing April 5. Federal prosecutors relied on testimony from Ralph Natale, the former boss of the Philadelphia-South Jersey mob and one of the highest-ranking American Mafia figures ever to turn government witness.
