When Utah’s former Attorney General Mark Shurtleff sued the Salt Lake County district attorney and nearly every public agency involved in a now-dismissed public corruption case against him for $60 million, he told reporters to “stay tuned" for more alleged scandal.
Attorneys for Shurtleff filed a 73-page amended complaint in his lawsuit against Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill, the state, the FBI and individual agents and police officers. The document, which grew by 52 pages from the original federal complaint, says Shurtleff, a Republican, was targeted in an alleged long-running, politically motivated investigation. Shurtleff, who has always maintained his innocence, was charged with with bribery and corruption in 2014.
