Detroit — A grand jury filed seven new charges against Wayne County Executive Robert Ficano's fired political lieutenant Wednesday, the latest allegations in a widening corruption probe of county government.
The new indictment adds more pressure on Michael Grundy, an assistant executive who months ago was seen as a rising star in Ficano's administration. The charges — one count of conspiracy to launder money and six counts of laundering money — involve Grundy's close friend Keith Griffin, who pleaded guilty to his role in the corruption probe in May and agreed to cooperate with investigators.
"It's no secret my client has agreed to be truthful, and I think he's been very truthful and forthcoming," Griffin lawyer Leon Weiss said. "Everybody has to face their own set of consequences."
