The government investigation of racketeering in the trash-hauling industry in Connecticut has wrapped up with a guilty plea by the last person charged in the case. 41-year-old Paul Galietti of Southbury is the last of the 33 individuals charged with various crimes in the case. All entered guilty pleas.

Galietti is a former Connecticut state trooper. Prosecutors say in 2004 they intercepted a conversation he had with his cousin, Richard Galietti, who at the time was sales manager for Automated Waste Disposal, one of the companies targeted in the investigation. Investigators say they heard Richard Galietti asking his cousin for a registration check on a Connecticut license plate, and heard Paul Galietti pass along the information three minutes later. When they checked the National Crime Information Computer, they found such information had been accessed at that time from State Police Troop G, where Paul Galietti worked. He was charged with improperly accessing a government computer.

Agents say they found Paul Galietti had been given a dumpster for his home from a trash hauler affiliated with Automated Waste Disposal, and that he had accepted free tickets, including to New York Giants games, from his cousin.

Sentencing for Galietti is in January. He faces a maximum term of one year and a fine of up to $100,000. In addition, as a condition of his plea, he agreed to surrender law enforcement licenses and certifications and not to seek future employment in law enforcement.
