"Marconi had been accused of soliciting then-Republican Gov. Chris Sununu to influence the attorney general's investigation into her husband, telling him that the investigation was the result of "personal petty and/or political biases." According to the indictment, she told Sununu there was no merit to the allegations and that any investigation into her husband "needed to be wrapped up quickly because she was recused from important cases pending" before the court."
"Authorities have not disclosed the nature of that investigation, but Marconi's husband, Geno Marconi, has been charged with interfering with it by deleting voicemails and providing confidential motor vehicle records to a third party. Geno Marconi, the director of the New Hampshire Division of Ports and Harbors, faces two felony charges - witness tampering and falsifying evidence - and four misdemeanors of obstructing government administration and violating driver privacy."
Anna Barbara Hantz Marconi, an associate justice of the New Hampshire Supreme Court, pleaded no contest to criminal solicitation of misuse of position, a misdemeanor. A Merrimack County grand jury had indicted her in October 2024 on two felonies and five misdemeanors, which were dismissed under a plea deal approved by a judge. Prosecutors accused her of soliciting then-Gov. Chris Sununu to influence an attorney general investigation into her husband, saying the probe resulted from "personal petty and/or political biases" and needed to be "wrapped up quickly" because she was recused from important cases. Geno Marconi faces felony and misdemeanor charges related to interfering with the investigation, and Bradley Cook also was charged with perjury and false swearing. Justice Marconi has been on administrative leave since July 2024; Geno Marconi has been on paid leave.
