During last week’s casino hearings, the chief investigator for the state gambling commission revealed that a longtime business partner of the felon Charles Lightbody stands to make more than $1 million from the sale of land in Everett to Steve Wynn for a casino.
On Sept. 8, investigator Karen Wells said Jamie Russo would receive 3 percent of the land proceeds for work as a “consultant slash lobbyist.” A commission attorney also said that one of the three owners of the land, Anthony Gattineri, who had initially borrowed money from Lightbody, had paid him back with interest in June.
