Via the Philadelphia Inquirer, the FBI interviewed Commanders owner Josh Harris last year in connection a criminal racketeering case against

Authorities have been investigating Norcross for years. The case, which culminated in a 13-count indictment against Norcross and others in June 2024, includes New Jersey’s passage of economic-development legislation in 2013, boosting tax incentives for companies that chose to invest in Camden, New Jersey.
