Former FPL CEO Eric Silagy worked closely with Matrix LLC, an Alabama-based consulting firm that targeted the utility's political adversaries.
The Central Florida political consultant who was charged with violating state campaign finance laws in the 2020 “ghost” candidate scandal also drew attention from federal investigators probing an unrelated matter, according to depositions recently made public.
The revelation about the federal probe came to light in May during a deposition of Florida Department of Law Enforcement Inspector Troy Cope, who investigated the “ghost” candidate scheme that has rocked Florida politics during the past three years. Foglesong’s attorney, Jacob Stuart, interviewed Cope as part of the criminal case against Foglesong, who is facing three felony and two misdemeanor charges in connection with the scheme.
Cope’s deposition does not disclose the focus of the U.S. Attorney’s Office’s investigation that involved Foglesong, though it apparently doesn’t pertain to the “ghost” candidate scandal.
