Rick Renzi

Rep. Rick Renzi of Arizona was indicted in 2008 on counts tied to his eff orts to get the federal government to buy land from his business partner. Renzi did not run for reelection in 2008.

Renzi was sentenced in 2013 to prison after a federal jury convicted him of extortion, bribery, insurance fraud, money laundering and racketeering, according to the Justice Department. The department, citing evidence at trial, said Renzi promised to use his legislative sway to profit from a land exchange, which involved property that was owned by an investor.
