CLEVELAND (92.3 The Fan) – Cleveland Browns owner and Pilot Flying J CEO Jimmy Haslam was not among 8 indictments handed down Tuesday in the federal probe into rebate fraud involving the company.

The indictment unsealed on Tuesday accuses former Pilot president Mark Hazelwood and seven other former employees of participating in a scheme to cheat customers out of promised rebates and discounts.

Hazelwood, who also faces an additional charge for witness tampering, pleaded not guilty in federal court Tuesday.

Read the full 58-page indictment here.

The indictment includes emails between the sales staff and executives recounting how they were able to dupe customers who were not sophisticated enough to detect the fraud.

10 former Pilot Flying J employees plead guilty and agreed to cooperate with investigators since the initial raid on the company’s Knoxville, Tennessee headquarters on April 15, 2013.

Pilot earlier paid a $92 million penalty to the government in an agreement with prosecutors in which the company accepted responsibility for the criminal actions of its employees.

Pilot paid out another $85 million to settle claims with 5,500 trucking companies in a class-action lawsuit.

Haslam has denied any previous knowledge of the fraud or any personal wrongdoing.
