Files Altered, Destroyed Amid Wayne Co. Probe, FBI Told

Wayne County Just Keeps Getting Shadier

By Joel Kurth

Wayne County's former information technologies director told the FBI that county officials destroyed and altered computer files amid a federal grand jury investigation, The Detroit News has learned.

On Feb. 7, one week before Tahir Kazmi resigned and was charged with shaking down a contractor, his attorney sent County Executive Robert Ficano a letter. It claims Kazmi was "targeted by (Ficano's) political appointees" because he informed authorities about alleged crimes.
