Democrat Sen. Bob Menendez, Wife Indicted Over Gold Bar And Other Bribery Schemes
22nd September 2023
Not his first rodeo.
Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and his wife Nadine have been indicted in New York for allegedly accepting bribes in relation to an allegedly corrupt relationship they had with three businessmen from their home state. The indictment also charges three businessmen, Wael Hana, Jose Uribe and Fred Daibes.
“Those bribes included cash, gold, payments toward a home mortgage, compensation for a low-or-no-show job, a luxury vehicle, and other things of value,” reads the indictment.
…
In June of last year, federal agents searched Menendez’s New Jersey home, where they found “fruits” of the pair’s “corrupt bribery agreement” with the three businessman – including over $480,000 in cash, some of which was stuffed in envelopes, and $70,000 in Nadine Menendez’s safe deposit box.
They also found gold bars worth over $100,000, “provided by either Hana or Daibes.”
