Rozier Faces New Bribery Charge in NBA Case
The government has beefed up its case against Rozier with two new charges: bribery in sporting contests and honest services wire fraud conspiracy. These charges come as Rozier attempts to dismiss existing gambling-related charges against him. sweetbonanza-app.com
Rozier's attorney, Jim Trusty, called the new charges "a sad effort to make something stick," while Rozier has filed a motion to dismiss based on a 2023 Supreme Court case that determined federal fraud statute requires deprivation of an actual property right. The government maintains its fraud theory is based on Rozier sharing inside information with someone who used it to make a winning wager, without disclosing the same information to sportsbooks.
