BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) _ San Francisco 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo Jr. has struck a plea bargain, admitting to concealing an alleged scheme by former Louisiana Gov. Edwin Edwards to extract payoffs for a riverboat casino license.
Federal prosecutors hinted that DeBartolo's deal may lead to others.
DeBartolo was sentenced to two years' probation Tuesday after pleading guilty and agreeing to pay up to $1 million in penalties. He also promised to testify against Edwards and Edwards' son, Stephen.
DeBartolo, 51, called the plea ``like visiting a little piece of hell.''
