An Ohio-based utility company says it’s being investigated by a state office focused on organized crime in connection with payments the company made to the state’s former House speaker and a top utility regulator. FirstEnergy says it had received a subpoena on June 29 from the Ohio Organized Crime Investigations Commission. The commission is a division of the state attorney general’s office. The payments were the focus of a 2021 deferred prosecution agreement between the Akron-based firm and federal authorities in which the company agreed to pay a $230 million dollar penalty and cooperate with investigators.
