Flora Cafaro, part owner of the Cafaro Co., gave Atty. Martin Yavorcik more money in 2008 than the $40,000 reported to be her contribution to his political campaign, special prosecutors allege.
Details in support of the money-laundering charges against Cafaro and Yavorcik were contained in a bill of particulars filed Tuesday by Dennis P. Will, Lorain County prosecutor; Paul M. Nick, chief investigative counsel for the Ohio Ethics Commission; and David P. Muhek and Anthony Cillo, assistant Lorain County prosecutors.
Yavorcik ran unsuccessfully in 2008 as an independent candidate for Mahoning County prosecutor against Paul J. Gains, the Democratic incumbent.
The money laundering charge is a third-degree felony, carrying a fine up to $10,000 and a prison term of one to five years.
