A jury in Cincinnati has found former Ohio State House Speaker Larry Householder and former Ohio Republican Party Chair Matt Borges guilty of conspiracy to participate in a racketeering enterprise involving bribery and money laundering. This verdict is the result of a $60 million bribery scheme, the largest corruption case in Ohio's history, in which Householder and his associates received money in exchange for Householder's support of a $1 billion bailout. The verdict sends a strong message that illegal acts will not be tolerated in Ohio, and Householder and Borges will face sentencing at a later date with a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
