Ocean County NJ Alfonso L. Santoro Sentenced

The former head of the Ocean County democratic party Alfonso L. Santoro was sentenced in federal court today to one year of home confinement for accepting bribes from an FBI informant.
Alfonso L. Santoro from Beachwood NJ, was also ordered to serve three years probation and pay a $10,000 fine.

He pleaded guilty in December to taking $6,500 from the informant, who posed as a developer trying to bribe public officials in exchange for building permits. In return for the money, Santoro said he introduced the informant to then-Assemblyman Daniel M. Van Pelt, a Republican from Waretown.

Van Pelt, who served 11 years as mayor of Ocean Township, was charged in July with accepting $10,000 from the informant in exchange for helping obtain environmental permits. His trial is scheduled to begin in May.

Alfonso L. Santoro, an ex-commissioner for the Ocean County Board of Elections, was not initially charged in the case, which revolved around Solomon Dwek, a failed Monmouth County developer who became a government informant after being charged in 2006 with bank fraud. He spent more than two years secretly working for federal prosecutors, targeting rabbis who supposedly laundered money and public officials who allegedly took bribes.

U.S. District Judge Joel A. Pisano also ordered Santoro to forfeit the $6,500 he took from Dwek.
