Accused of running a “pay-to-play” scheme that extorted tens of thousands from vendors, Correia’s fall from grace began even before his mayoral tenure, when he was charged in 2018 for defrauding investors in a failed app. Former Mayor Will Flanagan, who has a complicated history with Correia, warns that trust and integrity are vital for elected officials, especially amid Fall River’s political turmoil. Flanagan, now a dispensary owner himself, says it’s too early to judge whether justice has been served, emphasizing that true justice will be measured by Correia’s reintegration into society — balancing punishment with rehabilitation. The judge in Correia’s trial called his actions “corrosive,” underscoring the lasting damage to the city’s reputation.
