Bill of Particulars pertaining to the indictment of John McNally, Michael Sciortino, and Martin Yavorcik.

The Ohio Attorney General and the Cuyahoga County prosecutor filed a 145-page “bill of particulars” today in that county’s Common Pleas Court detailing information in support of the 83 political corruption charges facing Youngstown Mayor John A. McNally, Mahoning County Auditor Michael Sciortino and attorney Martin Yavorcik.

Attorneys for the three had filed requests in court seeking the information.

The three are charged with engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, conspiracy, bribery, money laundering and tampering with records.

The indictment, opened May 14, claims the three were part of a criminal enterprise that traded money and other financial benefits for political favors, lied under oath to protect business interests, and agreed to fix legal cases. The three say they’re innocent of the charges.

At the root of the alleged criminal enterprise was keeping Mahoning County Job and Family Services at the Cafaro Co.’s Garland Plaza on Youngstown’s East Side and not moving it to Oakhill Renaissance Place, the former Forum Health Southside Medical Center.
