Two fired FirstEnergy Corp. executives whose initial prosecutions in the state’s long-running $60 million bribery scandal ended in mistrial earlier this year have been reindicted. Republican Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost detailed a combined 22 new criminal counts Thursday against former CEO Chuck Jones and one-time top lobbyist Michael Dowling, including corruption, bribery, conspiracy and tampering with evidence. Yost said new information came to light through a civil lawsuit against FirstEnergy that has been incorporated into the new allegations. Defense attorneys say the new indictments are overbroad and rely on information either directly excluded or dismissed at trial.
