Greg Meffert, His Wife and Technology Vendor Indicted by Grand Jury

ABC26 News

NEW ORLEANS | A federal grand jury on Friday indicted the city's former technology director, his wife and a one-time city vendor on fraud and bribery conspiracy charges.

The indictments are against Greg Meffert, city technology director from 2002 to 2006; his wife, Linda Meffert; and businessman Mark St. Pierre.

U.S. Attorney Jim Letten planned a news conference Friday afternoon.

Federal authorities in June confirmed a criminal investigation into the city's technology office and contracts for a surveillance program that employed cameras in high-crime areas.

Friday's criminal indictments came days after a civil jury found Meffert and companies owned by St. Pierre conspired with Dell Inc. to unfairly compete with two other companies that worked on the camera program.
