Federal prosecutors in Hawaii have announced bribery and public corruption charges against a Hawaii business owner and a Maui County official
Court documents unsealed Thursday accuse Milton Choy, the owner of a Honolulu company that provides wastewater services and supplies, of bribing Stewart Olani Stant, who was a wastewater manager and then director of the Maui County Department of Environmental Management.
Messages left for Stant on various social media sites were not immediately returned. Listed phone numbers had been disconnected. “When we received the information from this member of the public, our investigators and prosecutors took a look at it and thought this is significant," Connors said."It is certainly among one of the largest bribery cases that our our office has investigated and prosecuted.”
Connors said that Choy was among the first people arrested in recent public corruption investigations and that he cooperated with investigators in cases against two Hawaii state lawmakers who were also prosecuted for taking bribes.
