Russo case figure aided Huntsville condo probe - al.com: "A developer convicted of bribing the mayor of Orange Beach pointed federal investigators toward a scheme of kickbacks and money laundering involving a Huntsville condominium project, according to court documents unsealed in Mobile on Friday.

The assistance offered by Jim Brown — plus his testimony against former Orange Beach Mayor Steve Russo and City Attorney Larry Sutley — prompted prosecutors to recommend probation for Brown in the Baldwin County case.

U.S. District Judge Kristi DuBose ultimately sentenced Brown to a year and a day in prison."
