BALTIMORE - One of Maryland’s largest public corruption cases — and most bitter legal battles — will end Tuesday when former state Sen. Thomas Bromwell plans to plead guilty to racketeering charges in federal court.
Once a powerful Baltimore County Democrat, Bromwell, 58, is expected to face six to eight years in federal prison when he pleads guilty to filing a false tax return and racketeering conspiracy. He will be sentenced by U.S. District Judge J. Frederick Motz.
“It was a very difficult decision for him, but taking into account what’s best for him, what’s best for his wife, what’s best for his family, he believes that the best thing to do was to admit that he did make some mistakes and to put this matter to rest so that he and his family can move on with their lives,” Bromwell’s lawyer Barry Pollack said.
