“It’s something we haven’t had a chance to sit down and get our arms around yet. But, it’s well known, … Frank’s testified in three trials wherein the government’s gotten convictions. We would suggest to the court and to government that’s in large part due to Frank’s assistance. He’s assisted with anything they’ve asked him about. He’s been very cooperative throughout.”

Russo’s testimony was key in the convictions of his former friend and county Commissioner Jimmy Dimora and Common Pleas Judge Bridget McCafferty. The last charges still pending are against Anthony Calabrese III, who's accused of steering the county's purchase of the AmeriTrust complex.
