Tommaso Calautti, an engineer for the West New York Department of Public Works, admitted that he accepted $30,000 from three contractors who received municipal maintenance and repair contracts. Calautti pleaded guilty to exercising his official influence in favor of the contractors' companies. Acting U.S. Attorney Ralph Marra, Jr. said the investigation is ongoing and while prosecutors know the identities of the contractors, they were not identified in court documents.
