Federal court documents revealed one of those businesses is Melodrama Boutique, which is owned by Juquita “Jackie” Adams.
Federal investigators say Barnes and Adams developed a scheme where he would award $30,000 to Adam’s boutique for advertising services. Court documents show Adams would then give Barnes a $5,000 kickback payment, “which Barnes then intended to use for his own personal enrichment.”
The federal government intends to seek forfeiture of Adams’s property if she is convicted of federal program bribery.Copyright 2023 by KPRC Click2Houston - All rights reserved.
