Mark Caller, developer of Marcal Group, is facing bribery charges related to an alleged agreement with ex-Buildings Commissioner Eric Ulrich. Caller claims the prosecutors misrepresented the nature of their relationship, arguing it was longstanding and legal. He has filed a motion to dismiss the charges, asserting that the indictment was built on a lack of crucial information regarding their interactions. Ulrich, who allegedly received a discounted apartment in exchange for favors, had previously helped Caller without any payment, highlighting the complexities of their professional relationship and suggesting that the charges might be unfounded.
"The grand jury needed to understand the true nature of the relationship between Caller and Ulrich... The District Attorney's office prevented the Grand Jury from understanding the defendant's relationship by failing to inform them that Ulrich had been legally helping Caller for years."
"Caller sold Ulrich a discounted apartment at his company's condo development in exchange for favors... Those allegedly included Ulrich's support for a zoning change and help getting the Fire Department to expedite an inspection."
