BOSTON, Mass. (AP) - The vice chairman of the state Republican Party resigned after a federal sting led to money-laundering charges accusing him of offering to "cleanse" drug proceeds for a legal client.
Lawrence Novak, an attorney, was arrested at his home Tuesday after investigators said he allegedly offered to launder drug profits for Scott Holyoke. Novak resigned his party position on Tuesday after his release on bond.
Holyoke is awaiting trial on federal drug trafficking charges and agreed to be a cooperating witness against Novak for the FBI.
