Case Description

Three defendants pleaded guilty in connection with $24,360 worth of contracts for computer services let by the Oakland, Lincoln Park and Haledon police departments. The three defendants were required to enter into consent agreements filed with the court barring them for three years from doing business, either personally or through any business entity, with any public agency or government in New Jersey. The three men are responsible, jointly and severally, for paying $24,360 to the Attorney General’s Anti-Trust Revolving Fund for anti-trust enforcement efforts. All three were responsible, jointly and severally, for paying $18,960, and two of the defendants were responsible for paying an additional $5,400. In pleading guilty, the three men admitted that they fabricated bids, purportedly from competing companies, on public contracts for computer hardware, software and services for the three police departments.
