Detroit Strip Clubs: Riddle wants Convertino to represent him in corruption case
October 27, 2009 at 8:00 pm | In Detroit strip clubs | No CommentsRiddle faces 10 felony charges, well more than anyone else snared in the region’s latest corruption probe that also ensnared former Detroit City Councilwoman Monica Conyers. Riddle once served as an aide to Conyers.
Convertino could not immediately be reached for comment, but Riddle said he has agreed to take the case. Convertino also had been representing former state Rep. Mary Waters, who is accused along with Riddle of bribing Southfield City Councilman William Lattimore with $12,500 to speed approval for a pawnshop relocation and expansion.
We will work through any conflict issues, Riddle said.
Federal authorities allege Riddle spread bribes to help a pawnshop in Southfield, and hand-delivered the cash that purchased Conyers’ vote on a billion-dollar sludge contract. It was Riddle, agents allege, who acted as fixer for a restaurant owner, a strip club agent and a real estate developer to buy influence in Detroit.
