U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Florida Roger Handberg issued a statement Aug. 22 related to public corruption cases in general and the recent sentencing of former JEA CEO Aaron Zahn in particular.
“Public corruption has a corrosive effect on a community. It undermines faith in the government and our institutions. For those reasons and many others, public corruption cases are a top priority of my office,” Handberg said.
He was appointed 2½ years ago to lead the federal prosecutors in the district that comprises 35 of Florida’s 67 counties from Jacksonville through Central Florida to Sarasota.
