FBI probes Albany trash-hauling and dumping practices
The FBI has begun a preliminary probe into Albany trash-hauling and dumping, with special agents including those with accounting expertise. The investigation follows a Times-Union series alleging no-bid contracts and dumping at the city landfill without the $12.50 per ton fee, costing the city about $57,000 in 1982. Albany County DA Sol Greenberg backs the inquiry and says the case was handed to the FBI for its bookkeeping and accounting capabilities.
