Dover developer Michael Zimmerman entered a not guilty plea in Delaware Superior Court to charges that he made fraudulent donations to Governor Jack Markell’s 2008 campaign.
Prosecutors say that he used fictitious names or names of other people.
Zimmerman, his relatives, his companies and his business partners gave at least $14,600 to Markell’s campaign.
The Wilmington News Journal reports that this is the second indictment on campaign financial charges by special prosecutor E. Norman Veasey who has led a two year investigation.
In addition, Zimmerman faces federal charges alleging bank fraud and money laundering.
He has entered a not guilty plea in that case as well.
