CINCINNATI (AP) — Federal authorities say an Ohio landscaping company and two of its executives charged with defrauding the city of Cincinnati and other public entities have been found guilty.

A U.S. attorney’s release says Cincinnati-based Evans Landscaping Inc., CEO Doug Evans and Vice President of Operations Jim Bailey were convicted Tuesday in federal court in Cincinnati. Authorities say all three were convicted of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and wire fraud charges.

Prosecutors allege Evans and Bailey helped create a front company, Ergon, to win minority and small business contracts unavailable to Evans Landscaping. Authorities say Ergon received demolition contracts with Cincinnati worth nearly $2 million from 2011 through 2014.

The company’s and Evans’ attorney, Ben Dusing, says they’re disappointed and are reviewing their options. A message was left for Bailey’s attorney.
