Angelo Errichetti, a former Camden City mayor and state senator has died at the age of 84. Mr. Errichetti’s fall from grace came about as a result of a *federal sting operation known as Abscam.The FBI had codenamed the operation \”Abscam\”, a contraction of \”Abdul scam\”, after the name of its fictitious front company.
The investigation ultimately led to the conviction of a United States Senator, five members of the House of Representatives, one member of the New Jersey State Senate, members of the Philadelphia City Council, and an inspector for the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
