Former Cuyahoga County Commissioner Jimmy Dimora, shown here during his 2010 arrest on widespread corruption charges, was granted clemency on Thursday by President Joe Biden.It was July 2008 when the FBI stunned Cuyahoga County, raiding government buildings and businesses across the area.
Month after month, the investigation into county government snowballed as nearly 60 politicians, government officials and contractors were convicted after the investigation by the FBI and IRS. The scandal gave rise to a reform county government, as voters overwhelmingly approved replacing three commissioners and a host of independently elected offices with a county executive and council.
Longtime county commissioner and county Democratic Party chairman Jimmy Dimora was sentenced to 28 years in prison. Prosecutors said Dimora made about $450,000 off bribes, including trips to Las Vegas, prostitutes and an infamous outdoor stone-fired pizza oven installed in the backyard of his Independence home.
