Detroit Strip Clubs: Conyers admits trading Synagro vote for cash

July 1, 2009 at 3:24 pm | In Detroit strip clubs | No Comments

Though the bribery conspiracy charge Conyers pleaded to only specified envelopes containing a few thousand dollars in cash she accepted in a McDonald’s parking lot and at the Butzel Family Center on Kercheval, she admitted to additional illegal conduct in her plea agreement.
That document says she and her aide, identified by sources as Riddle, received payments from “persons who sought contracts, money and/or favorable entity” from both the City Council and Detroit’s General Retirement System, where Conyers served as a trustee. Their intent was that those who paid “would perceive that (Conyers) would be influenced by the payments in her official actions,” the plea agreement said.
In addition to Synagro, allegations against Conyers have included receiving jewelry from a Detroit-based pawn shop and an attempted shakedown of the owners of a Detroit strip club who sought a license transfer.
