Correia is facing 24 counts of alleged political corruption, bribery, extortion and defrauding investors.
While in office, Correia was indicted and arrested twice, first in October 2018 connected to his now defunct phone app company, SnoOwl; and then again in September 2019 for allegedly extorting $600,000 in bribes from marijuana vendors looking to do business in the city.
While Correia was able to stave off a recall campaign after his first indictment, where voters recalled and then re-elected the city’s youngest mayor, his political career ended after the second indictment, when current Mayor Paul Coogan easily defeated him in the November 2019 citywide election.
