Kenosha County Executive Indicted

A federal grand jury has indicted the Kenosha County Executive for improperly receiving $15,000 to $20,000 in cash payments from a Kenosha businessman, FBI Special Agent in Charge Richard Ruminski and U.S. Attorney Steven Biskupic announced February 12, 2008.

Allan K. Kehl (age 61, of Kenosha) allegedly obtained individual cash payments of $5,000 each in the context of purported campaign contributions, but the contributions were in excess of legal limits and were not reported on campaign finance forms, the indictment alleges. The Indictment does not disclose the name of the businessman.

Kehl is charged with one count of conspiracy. If convicted, he faces up to five years imprisonment and $250,000 in fines. No court date has yet been set.

Kehl is the fourth Kenosha-area person charged in connection with an FBI investigation of illegal campaign contributions associated with a proposed Kenosha area Indian casino. Three others (Dennis Troha, John Erickson, and Achille “Kelly” Infusina) have plead guilty or agreed to plead guilty.

Anyone possessing additional information related to this matter is encouraged to contact the Milwaukee FBI at (414) 276-4684.

The case is being prosecuted by Biskupic and Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew L. Jacobs. The public is cautioned that an Indictment 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.
