Philadelphia- from www.myfoxphilly.com – One of the strip clubs at the center of a growing FBI city corruption investigation in Philadelphia could face a possible shutdown, according to documents obtained by Fox 29 News.
The FBI raided the Oasis Gentlemen’s Club two weeks ago, it was also the scene of a killing 16 months ago.
According to documents that were released to us late last week, state police liquor control enforcement investigators have filed a citation concerning the October 16th, 2009 beating death of a Delaware County man allegedly at the hands of three bouncers and the club’s part owner.
Jimmy Koons was beaten into unconsciousness 16 months ago allegedly at the hands of Robert Laflar and three bouncers at the club, and it was all caught on video tape. Koons died a few weeks later.
The state police spent almost a year investigating the beating and other problems at the club after murder charges were filed.
They recently filed a citation against Oasis, calling for a hearing and ordering the club owners to show cause why their license should not be suspended or revoked or a fine imposed.
Oasis is one of the strip clubs searched by the FBI two weeks ago as agents looked for evidence of possible payments of cash, goods or services to city officials and police officers.
Koons’ family has been demanding a shutdown since his murder.
