Businessman Agrees to Plead Guilty in Campaign Financing Violations

A Kenosha businessman has agreed to plead guilty to the charge of participating in a conspiracy to commit campaign finance violations, United States Attorney Steven Biskupic announced today.

According to documents filed in federal court, Achille F. “Kelly” Infusino helped conceal that corporate funds were illegally being used for campaign contributions. In addition, Infusino accepted $7,500 in automobile lease payments in exchange for making contributions to various political campaigns, the documents allege.

Infusino faces up to one year in prison and a fine of $100,000.

Infusino is the third person charged in connection with the alleged conspiracy. Dennis Troha and John Erickson both have entered guilty pleas and are awaiting sentencing.

The investigation, headed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, is continuing.

The public is cautioned that an information is merely the formal method of charging an individual with a crime, and does not constitute evidence of guilt. An individual is presumed innocent until such time, if ever, as the government establishes guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
