Feds Ask to Revoke Chuck Rizzo's Bond for Attempting to Tamper With Witness
Charles B. Rizzo, the former trash hauling magnate, who owned Rizzo Environmental Services, can't seem to stay out of trouble, even while he awaits his March 13 sentencing on bribery and other federal charges.
On Tuesday, the U.S Attorney's Office in Detroit filed a motion asking that a judge revoke his bond and put him in jail for attempting to "intimidate, retaliate against, and tamper" with a government witness in his case.
Rizzo pleaded guilty on Nov. 9. He faced charges of bribery and scheming with others to steal hundreds of thousand of dollars from Rizzo Environmental Services between between 2013 and 2016 when the majority owner was a New York-based private equity firm. The company has since been sold to GFL (Green For Life) Environmental.
The incident in involving the witness took place the evening of Dec. 16 at the Tap Room in the MGM Grand Detroit Casino. The key witness provided the FBI with incriminating evidence against him.
