Charges Expected Against Employees of Concrete Testing Company

In the NYTimes: Manhattan prosecutors are expected to seek state racketeering and fraud charges later this month against about a dozen officers and employees of a company hired to test the strength of the concrete at some of the biggest construction projects in the New York area, according to investigators and others briefed on the case. The charges are expected to accuse the company’s president and several senior officials of failing to do some tests and falsifying others over a period of about five years, the investigators and the others said. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because no charges had yet been filed.
