\n

New Jersey Democrat<\/a> Sen. Bob Menendez and his wife, Nadine Arslanian Menendez, are facing a hefty federal indictment that details a years-long bribery scheme involving a $60,000 Mercedes-Benz, gold bars and loads of cash.<\/p>\n

So far, Menendez has refused to resign his seat, but he stepped down from his position as chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee last month.<\/p>\n

The Democratic senator was also indicted on federal bribery charges in 2016, which related to a wealthy Florida<\/a> eye doctor and longtime friend who was a big donor to Menendez and allegedly received benefits in return. He was acquitted of the charges in 2018 following a mistrial. The most recent charges are unrelated.<\/p>\n

Here is how the events unfolded, according to the indictment.<\/a><\/p>\n

DEMOCRAT SEN MENENDEZ’S WIFE HIT, KILLED PEDESTRIAN WHILE DRIVING IN 2018: REPORTS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

February 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

Arslanian begins dating Menendez. Shortly after, Arslanian introduces Menendez to her longtime friend and businessman Wael Hana, who has close connections with Egyptian officials and is associated with Fred Daibes, a New Jersey real estate developer and donor to Menendez, and Jose Uribe, who works in the New Jersey insurance and trucking industries.<\/p>\n

Between 2018 and 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n

Menendez and Arslanian accept bribes from Hana, Daibes and Uribe, which include gold bars, hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, a new Mercedes-Benz convertible, home mortgage payments and “low-or-no-show job” compensation \u2014 three $10,000 checks \u2014 for Arslanian, and valuable home furnishings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Menendez also provides sensitive, confidential information about the federal government to Egyptian officials, including information about personnel at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo. The indictment alleges he also ghost-writes a letter at this time advocating for the release of $300 million in aid to Egypt and tells Egyptian officials he will approve or abolish holds on military financing and sales of military equipment to Egypt.<\/p>\n

MSNBC’S ALICIA MENENDEZ ADDRESSES FATHER’S INDICTMENT: COLLEAGUES HAVE ‘AGGRESSIVELY’ COVERED<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

October 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

Daibes is charged with federal criminal charges for obtaining loans under deceptive pretenses from a bank he established in New Jersey.<\/p>\n

December 2018\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Arslanian hits and kills<\/a> a pedestrian, Richard Koop. She was not given a DUI test and was let go immediately after providing a brief statement to police, according to dash cam video released by Bogota Police to The New York Times. Michael Mordaga, identified by the New York Post as a former director of Hackensack Police and former chief of detectives in the Bergen County Prosecutor\u2019s Office, was on the scene within minutes with other officers and can be heard in dash cam footage saying: “I don\u2019t even know her. That\u2019s my buddy\u2019s wife who\u2019s friends with her. He said, \u2018could you do me a favor and take her up there, because her friend just got in a car accident.\u2019”<\/p>\n

January 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Uribe offers to help buy a new Mercedes-Benz convertible worth over $60,000 for Menendez and Arslanian after the fatal crash. In exchange, the indictment alleges Menendez sought to interfere in the New Jersey Attorney General\u2019s investigation of Uribe for obtaining loans under false pretenses.<\/p>\n

April to May 2019\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hana\u2019s business pays approximately $23,000 to bring the mortgage of Arslanian\u2019s residence current. Menendez pressures a U.S. Department of Agriculture official to protect Hana’s business monopoly that was certified by Egypt.<\/p>\n

October 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Menendez and Arslanian get engaged and are married one year later.<\/p>\n

DEMOCRAT SEN BOB MENENDEZ FACING INDICTMENT ON BRIBERY CHARGES<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

December 2020 to 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n

Menendez agrees to sway the pending federal prosecution of Daibes in exchange for cash, furniture, and gold bars given by Daibes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

June 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n

FBI issues a search warrant at the Menendez residence in New Jersey, discovering over $480,000 in cash hidden in clothing, closets and a safe. They also find over $70,000 in cash in Arslanian\u2019s safe. Envelopes with fingerprints and\/or DNA of Daibes or his driver are found, as well as at least 13 gold bars worth over $100,000, the Mercedes-Benz and home furniture.<\/p>\n

September 2023\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The U.S. Attorney’s Office, Southern District of New York charges Arslanian, Menendez, Hana, Uribe, Daibes in the federal bribery scheme.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Menendez and Arslanian plead not guilty, and Menendez refuses to resign from the Senate amid growing calls from the Democratic Caucus.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
