A former executive of Enron Corp. will plead guilty to criminal charges and cooperate with federal investigators looking into the bankrupt company's fall, according to media reports.

Michael J. Kopper will plead guilty to single counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering, according to the reports. He will return $12 million he obtained for alleged criminal wrongdoing.

The plea will be entered today, the reports said. It will aid in the government's cases against other executives, according to observers.
