BOSTON (AP) – The former leader of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe has been convicted of bribery and extortion charges related to its long-planned casino project in Taunton.
Prosecutors said Thursday that Cedric Cromwell was found not guilty of other federal counts. Rhode Island architecture firm owner David DeQuattro was similarly convicted of bribery but cleared of others.
The federal trial in Massachusetts had been delayed by the coronavirus pandemic.
