NFI CEO Sidney Brown has joined the legal effort to have the New Jersey indictments against him and others dismissed, characterizing his involvement in the real estate dispute at the core of the criminal case as minor. Following a motion to dismiss charges for all six defendants, Brown has filed his own motion, presenting arguments specific to his participation in the conflict over control of a section of riverfront property in Camden, New Jersey, which lies across the Delaware River from Philadelphia. The case, initiated in June by the state's attorney general's office, has garnered significant media attention in New Jersey. This is largely due to the involvement of George Norcross, a figure often described as a "kingmaker" in South Jersey Democratic politics, including in Camden, despite never having held public office or run for one. Brown's central argument is that the 111-page indictment contains only one specific mention of his active involvement as the truckload carrier CEO in the effort to compel developer Carl Dranoff to relinquish development rights in Camden. These rights were sought by Norcross and others, including Brown, partly due to the potential for tax credits on new construction. Prosecutors view this pressure on Dranoff as criminal and a violation of the state's racketeering law, while Norcross's attorneys have characterized it as standard political maneuvering. (Dranoff has filed a civil suit against the defendants).
