Bobby Ferguson, a long-time friend of ex-Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick,  is expected to be arraigned in federal court Monday on a long list of charges including money laundering, mail fraud and conspiracy.

Ferguson is accused in a multi-million-dollar scheme to rig bids involving work at a former Detroit housing project.  Federal investigators say Ferguson directed several of his associates to inflate their bids on the project so he could appear to have the lowest bid.

Ex-mayor Kwame Kilpatrick is also charged federally with 19 criminal counts including mail fraud.
