Jury selection starts Monday in the case against former DEA agent Joseph Bongiovanni.
"This is a simple case about a dishonest and corrupt special agent who violated his oath and duty to enforce the drug laws of this nation in exchange for up to a quarter of a million dollars in bribes," Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Tripi said Thursday in his opening statement at Joseph Bongiovanni's trial.
Louis Selva is expected to share with jurors insider information that only he and a few other people know about how and why – and for how much money – Joseph Bongiovanni used his job as a DEA agent to shield a drug-trafficking organization from investigation and alert it to informants, Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Tripi said.
