The scandal involving Australian red light and speed camera provider Redflex has taken a turn this week, with the company’s ex-Chief Executive in the US now facing conspiracy charges.

News of the scandal broke in the Chicago Tribune in late 2012, with US$2 million (AU$2.15 million) in bribes allegedly offered to city officials in Chicago to secure a contract and grow it into America’s largest speed and red light camera program.

Midway through last year, the scandal reached Australia when it was revealed the New South Wales Government’s extensively expanded mobile speed camera program had been retendered, after the contract was initially awarded to Redflex.

Now Federal authorities in the US have formally charged Redflex’s ex-CEO Karen Finley, Chicago city manager John Bills (in May) and Bill’s friend and former Redflex consultant Martin O’Malley.
