Detroit City Councilman André L. Spivey is expected to be indicted for bribery on claims he accepted $1,000 from an undercover informant, his attorney said.
Detroit-based attorney Elliott Hall told The Detroit News Tuesday that he anticipates a one-count indictment from the U.S. Attorney s Office for bribery as a public official, but added Mr. Spivey did nothing in his official capacity as a city councilperson that they re claiming.
Hall said the indictment will detail the bribery allegations involving Spivey, whom he said has been cooperating with the U.S. Attorney s Office and other authorities for the past 15 months trying to resolve it.
