Another Massachusetts politician has been indicted for accepting bribes.

Recently I reported on the case of Diane Wilkerson, who was videotaped stuffing bribes into her bra:

The funny thing is, the same undercover FBI agent that busted Wilkerson nabbed this guy!

BOSTON — FBI agents arrested a Boston city council member Friday after he was videotaped allegedly taking a $1,000 bribe from an undercover agent in an expanding investigation into corruption at City Hall and the Massachusetts Statehouse.

Chuck Turner was taken into custody at City Hall less than a month after his records were subpoenaed as part of the investigation into former state Sen. Dianne Wilkerson. She was charged last month after the FBI said she was photographed stuffing bribe money under her sweater.

Turner was charged with attempted extortion and making false statements for allegedly accepting $1,000 from the same confidential informant who said he paid bribes to Wilkerson in exchange for help getting a liquor license for a Boston nightclub.

Turner was released on a $50,000 unsecured bond after a pretrial hearing in U.S. District Court in Worcester later Friday.He is prohibited from traveling out of the state without permission and from destroying documents related to the case.
