More Arrests Announced In The 2013 Lafayette DA’s Bribery Scheme
Attorney General Jeff Landry today announced the arrests of six more people in connection with their alleged roles in the bribery scandal at the Lafayette District Attorney's Office.
“As Louisiana Attorney General, I will do all I can to end public corruption,” said General Landry. “The federal government has had to step in many times to help enforce these laws and protect the public. The federal government should not, and will not, be alone in this mission under my administration.”
"Under my watch, we will enforce state ethics laws and not just rely upon the federal government to take the lead on this issue," continued General Landry. "The people of Louisiana should know government officials, elected and appointed, are accountable for their actions."
