New Jersey makes a lawsuit to prevent the poor menendez from the public office for life

The prosecutors in New Jersey have filed a lawsuit to prevent the former US senator Bob Menendez from holding a public office or a state position in the state for life.

The lawsuit was submitted by the general prosecutor for public integrity and accountability on May 5 to the Supreme Court of the Mercer County. It is stipulated that menendez must be permanently disqualified by the fight or application for a public office or employment within the state, including the positions of the municipal government, or is requested for public office or employment.

The lawsuit also indicates that Menendez (71) tries to run for an office or apply for state employment and should be despised in court. The Attorney General of New Jersey, Matthew Platkin, emphasized that Menendez “abused his high-ranking position in the US Senate because of his personal and financial advantage”, and that the lawsuit prevents him from preventing a future public office in New Jersey.

At the beginning of this year, Menendez was sentenced to 11 years in prison after his conviction in a bribe scandal. The case concerned Menendez that it accepted almost 1 million US dollars of bribes from three business people in exchange for political favors. This included a Mercedes-Benz convertible of $ 60,000 for his wife Nadine Menendez and working as a foreign representative on behalf of the Egyptian government.

The examination revealed significant evidence, including 480,000 US dollars in cash and $ 150,000 in Goldbars, which was confiscated in Menendez in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, during an FBI attack in Menendez. These objects were used as evidence during the bremble process of the states that were involved in the Schemas of Menendez, his wife, and the three companies that were involved in the peelers.

Two of the business people, Fred Daibes, a wealthy developer, and Wael “wants” Hana, were sentenced to long prison terms and high fines. Daibes received a seven-year prison sentence and was fined $ 1.75 million, while Hana was sentenced to eight years and sentenced to $ 1.25 million. A third businessman, Jose Uribe, a former insurance manager, is guilty of various fees and is waiting for the conviction.

Nadine Menendez, who married Robert Menendez in 2020, was convicted last month for all charges in connection with the bribe scheme. She was supposed to be on trial with her husband and the three business people, but had delayed her study due to breast cancer diagnosis. The public prosecutor emphasized its role in facilitating communication between Menendez, business people and Egyptian officials.
