Trenton NJ Man Charged with Overtime Fraud

TRENTON, N.J. – In a shocking case of corruption, Martin Moore, a 59-year-old resident of Florence, New Jersey, has been charged with participating in a conspiracy to obtain overtime payments from the city of Trenton for work he did not perform.

Moore, a principal registered environmental health specialist for the city’s Bureau of Environmental Health, allegedly directed other employees to inflate their overtime hours for work related to residential lead inspections and meal deliveries to needy Trenton residents.

According to the complaint, Moore and his co-conspirators, including Andre Trott, a senior registered environmental health specialist, and others, fraudulently claimed overtime hours for work they did not perform, resulting in payments of over $5,000.

Moore faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a fine of $500,000. Trott faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a fine of $250,000.

Moore and Trott made their initial court appearances before U.S. Magistrate Judge Tonianne J. Bongiovanni in Trenton federal court and were released on $50,000 unsecured bond.

This case is a stark reminder of the need for accountability and transparency in government spending. It is our responsibility to ensure that taxpayer dollars are used for the intended purpose and not for personal gain.

The FBI, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge, has been investigating this case and has worked tirelessly to bring those responsible to justice.
