Federal prosecutors have charged two retired chairmen of PBSJ Corp. with making and orchestrating ways to conceal illegal campaign donations.
Both former chairmen had long careers with the Tampa-based engineer. The prosecutors charged that Richard A. Wickett, who retired in 2005, and H. Michael Dye, who retired in 2002, committed mail and wire fraud in making the donations over a period from 1990 to 2003. A grand jury has charged Wickett with the crimes and federal prosecutors have filed a public statement of information about Dye and his activities, but he has not been indicted.
