PA Attorney General Launches Pittsburgh Public Corruption & Organized Crime Investigation

Pennsylvania Attorney General Tom Corbett "is empaneling an investigative grand jury in Pittsburgh that will focus on public corruption and organized crime" according to a report by Brad Bumsted from the Tribune-Review:

Corbett petitioned the state Supreme Court to start a grand jury that would replace one that expired, said Kevin Harley, the attorney general's spokesman. Corbett might shift the focus of the Pittsburgh grand jury toward possible wrongdoing in the gambling industry, but Harley refused to comment on that. The grand jury also might investigate environmental crimes and insurance fraud, Harley said.
