Attorneys for suspended Cincinnati Councilmember P.G. Sittenfeld alleged in a filing Wednesday that federal agents engaged in misconduct while conducting an investigation that led to corruption charges against him.
Most of the specific allegations of misconduct are redacted in the filing, which asks U.S. District Court Judge Douglas R. Cole to order the release of significant quantities of purposely withheld evidence Sittenfeld attorney Charlie Rittgers alleges federal authorities have not yet turned over.
One allegation is spelled out in the filing, however: a claim that the FBI informant in the case attended a party at a penthouse rented by undercover agents with young women who appeared to be drinking underage.
