NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — A former Jersey City housing inspector has pleaded guilty to tax evasion for not reporting cash payments from a federal informant who posed as a real estate developer.
John Guarini (gwah-REE'-nee) entered his plea Tuesday in Newark federal court.
The 62-year-old was among 44 people arrested in July 2009 in New Jersey's largest corruption case.
Guarini admitted he accepted $20,000 cash from Solomon Dwek, who posed as a crooked developer looking to have permits expedited.
The count of filing a false federal income tax return can result in up to three years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Guarini is scheduled to be sentenced Jan. 4.
