Gary Husk, a once influential lobbyist whose key clients included the Fiesta Bowl, has been charged with eight felonies for using his firm’s money to reimburse staff after directing them to make specific political campaign contributions.

The contributions went to high-profile politicians with whom Husk sought access and influence, including Gov. Jan Brewer. There is no indication any of the candidates knew they received illegal contributions, according to Attorney General Tom Horne’s office.

The Arizona Attorney General’s Office on Thursday provided Husk’s attorney with an unsealed Maricopa County Grand Jury indictment containing the eight charges. Husk is scheduled to be arraigned Oct. 17 at 8:30 a.m. in Maricopa County Superior Court.
