2012-11-13
According to prosecutors, Kilpatrick allegedly headed a criminal enterprise that robbed taxpayers of millions and instilled a culture of corruption in one of the nation's poorest cities.

Among the charges in the indictment: Kilpatrick and members of his so-called criminal enterprise threatened witnesses with violence and withheld city funds from firms that wouldn't pay to play. Kilpatrick allegedly pocketed a $10,000 kickback in a restaurant bathroom, according to prosecutors.

The enterprise included his father Bernard Kilpatrick and contractor Bobby Ferguson, according to an indictment.

The group faces federal charges that include racketeering conspiracy, extortion, bribery, fraud and tax evasion.
