Matthew V. Scannapieco (born May 21, 1944) is an American politician who served as Mayor of Marlboro, New Jersey from 1992[1] to 2003.[2] During the course of his career in public service, Scannapieco, a Republican, also served on the Township Council, the Planning Board and the Zoning Board of Adjustment.[3] During his tenure as mayor, he sat on the planning board and appointed all but one of the other members.[2] During this time, Marlboro township experienced a 40 percent increase in housing units in Marlboro, or nearly 3,500 new units.[4] In 2005, in the case of United States of America v. Matthew V. Scannapieco, he was charged with illegally accepting cash payments to influence planning processes and tax evasion.[5][non-primary source needed]

[edit]

Scannapieco pleaded guilty to accepting $245,000 in bribes from several land developers.[6][7][8]

The former mayor also pleaded guilty to tax evasion, specifically for failing to pay federal taxes on the money he accepted from several land developers involved with W.B. Associates.[9]

In August 2015, he pleaded guilty to child sexual abuse. At the age of 71, he was sentenced to 25 years in custody.[10]
