Two-year sentence in casino bribery case
Thursday, April 1, 1999 | 10:24 a.m.
Anderson also was ordered to pay back $64,500 of the profits he made from his bribe schemes.
The Kansas City Star reported Anderson's sentencing in U.S. District Court ended a public corruption investigation that snared several officials, including three former Kansas City council members.
After pleading guilty and agreeing to cooperate with investigators, Anderson assisted in a probe of the Kansas City Port Authority and the Flamingo Hilton hotel-casino.
Anderson was chairman of the city agency when it selected Hilton as the developer of the downtown site.
Hilton last year agreed to pay the federal government about $660,000 to avoid criminal prosecution on allegations that a Hilton executive had rewarded Anderson for his support of the casino. The agreement said that in 1993, Anderson arranged for Hilton to make a $250,000 grant to a company owned by an Anderson business associate.
A former Hilton senior vice president, Markland Rousseau, was charged with perjury in state court. He pleaded innocent and faces trial this fall.
Hilton has since agreed to sell the casino to the Trump organization.
