Shekarchi Challenges Ethics Probe in Court

Rhode Island Supreme Court candidate Joseph Shekarchi is fighting back in court to halt an ethics probe over a complaint alleging he violated the state’s revolving door law. The Ethics Commission voted to keep the investigation alive, rejecting his motion to dismiss, which argued the complaint lacked factual basis. Shekarchi’s legal team claims the commission made its decision in a closed session without properly considering his dismissal request. Now, he’s asking the judge to block the investigation, overturn the commission’s ruling, and even seek reimbursement for legal fees — setting the stage for a high-stakes legal battle that could reshape how ethics probes are conducted in Rhode Island.
