The Garden State Democrat resigned from its Senate Post and is to report a 11-year sentence in June in June.

Nadine was the “appearance”, the BOB connected with business people who have given them bribery of the Egyptian and Qatarian governments with them, according to Manhattan’s public prosecutor.

In return, the picked-up used his mighty post as head of the Senate Committee to praise colleagues that they had been held Egyptian military aid, which were stopped due to human rights concerns, alienated $ 300 million and found other valuable vessels, and the jury who heard in a one-month court procedure.

“What can the love of my life still do for you?” Nadine told an Egyptian official when he was sitting next to her husband in May 2019 in a dinner in May 2019, as evidence showed.

The former garden insurance broker Jose Uribe said that he bribed Nadine with a new Mercedes-Benz C-300 in exchange for the help of her husband by closing a criminal investigation.

“Congratulations Mon Amour de la Vie, we are the proud owners of a Mercedes 2019,” Nadine wrote to her husband after receiving the first payment for the new car, using the French sentence for “love of my life”.

FBI agents who attacked the couple’s house of Englewood Hills found the luxury car parked in their garage and more than 150,000 US dollars in Goldbars, which were stored in Nadine’s safe. The jurors saw more than 400,000 US dollars in envy and bumped throughout the household, including the official windbax of the Senator government.

Nadine Menendez looks like the possibility of a decades in prison, but it is more likely that they will be hit somewhere in the area of ​​the 11 years behind bars that were imposed on their husband in January for a prison sentence.

Bob Menendez convinced judge Sidney Stein to delay his prison stays by June 6 that he could “help” his wife during her process – but the support of the convicted criminal did not personally include her process.

Nadine was originally brought to trial with her husband Hana and Daibes, all of whom were convicted, but her attempt was pushed back after her breast cancer was diagnosed. Hana was sentenced to eight years in prison, and Daibes was made with a 7-year mission.

Uribe will be convicted later this year after working guilty and working with the government.

Nadine’s lawyer unsuccessfully argued in court that the government had not proven that it had the necessary “knowledge” or the “intention” to commit the crimes.
