Businessman Implicates Former Michigan House Speaker In Medical Marijuana Scandal
West Bloomfield businessman John Dawood Dalaly, who faces up to 10 years in prison for bribing the former chairman of Michigan's medical marijuana licensing board Rick Johnson, has been credited by federal prosecutors for providing substantial assistance and implicating others in a major public corruption scandal.
Prosecutors are recommending a 2 1/2-year prison sentence for Dalaly, who admitted to paying $68,200 in bribes to Johnson in exchange for inside information about marijuana license applicants.
