NEW YORK — A Manhattan federal grand jury today returned an indictment charging John Steinmetz, a former vice president and associate director of graphic services at Grey Worldwide, with conspiring to rig bids, evade taxes and conspiracy to do both. The charges stem from an ongoing Department of Justice investigation of the print and advertising industries.

Steinmetz, a resident of Lincroft, New Jersey, was charged in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, with one count of conspiring to rig bids and allocate contracts for the supply of retouching and separation services purchased by Grey on behalf of one of its clients from late 1994 until 2001.
