PHOENIX (AP) — The Fiesta Bowl’s former CEO has pleaded guilty in federal court to a felony conspiracy charge stemming from his role in an illegal campaign-finance scheme.
John Junker entered his plea Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Phoenix. It’s his second plea agreement in the case.
The 56-year-old Junker pleaded guilty last month in Maricopa County Superior Court to a state felony charge of soliciting a fraudulent scheme.
Both guilty pleas stem from a scheme in which the Fiesta Bowl reimbursed with bowl funds employees who made political campaign contributions.
