Ray Nagin (pictured), the Democrat mayor of New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina, has been indicted by a grand jury on 21 federal corruption charges.
The indictment, released Friday, alleges Nagin awarded lucrative city contracts to contractors in exchange for more than $200,000 in kickbacks and first-class trips to Hawaii, Jamaica and Las Vegas.
The charges stem from a City Hall corruption investigation that already has resulted in guilty pleas by two former city officials and two businessmen.
