In a status report filed in federal court Wednesday, prosecutors requested that sentencing for former Veco executives Bill Allen and Rick Smith continue to be postponed as the investigation continues.

Prosecutors wrote the investigation is "exceedingly complex," and they promised to have another update no later than July 31.

Both Allen and Smith pleaded guilty last year to federal bribery charges.

They've been key witnesses in the convictions of two former state lawmakers so far, and former Rep. Bruce Weyhrauch is awaiting trial while questions about evidence in his case are being appealed.
