NCB5 outlined the 13-counts against the Dallas County Commissioner and his co-defendants below:Count One: Conspiracy to Commit Bribery Concerning a Local Government Receiving Federal Benefits by Price, Nealy and Campbell. The maximum penalty is five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.Counts Two \u2013 Seven: Deprivation of Honest Services by Mail Fraud and Aiding and Abetting by both Price and Nealy. The maximum penalty is 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.Count Eight: Conspiracy to Defraud the IRS by Price, Nealy and Fain. The maximum penalty is five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.Counts Nine \u2013 Eleven: Subscribing to a false and Fraudulent U.S. Individual Income Tax Return for the years 2007, 2008, and 2009. The maximum penalty is three years in prison and a $250,000 fine.Count Twelve: Attempt to Evade or Defeat Payment by Nealy. The maximum penalty is five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.Count Thirteen: False statement provided by Fain. The maximum penalty is five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.These charges came as no surprise to the Dallas community. A little more than three years ago, the FBI served search warrants for that of Price\u2019s home and office in a surprise raid. According to the Dallas Morning News\u201a the FBI also searched the homes and offices of Dapheny Fain, Price\u2019s longtime executive assistant, and Kathy Nealy a political consultant with close ties to Price. Those search warrants outlined suspicions that Price and his longtime associates potentially committed multiple crimes.None of the companies and\/or individuals who won the bids of contracts or paid bribes have been charged yet however; they could face charges in the future."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Blog","item":"https:\/\/www.brodenmickelsen.com\/blog\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Man Downtown and Associates Accused of Multiple Crimes","item":"https:\/\/www.brodenmickelsen.com\/blog\/man-downtown-and-associates-accused-of-multiple-crimes\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
