Nadine Menendez, wife of former U.S. Senator Bob Menendez, has been found guilty of multiple charges including bribery and conspiracy. The verdict stemmed from allegations that she accepted bribes to leverage her husband's political connections for the benefit of Egyptian officials and local businessmen. The conviction follows her husband's own legal troubles, having been sentenced for separate bribery charges. Nadine's sentencing is scheduled for June 12, marking a significant conclusion to a high-profile case involving corruption in the political sphere.
The once-powerful chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, Bob Menendez was convicted at trial last July on charges related to efforts to speed Egypt's access to US military aid.
US Attorney Matthew Podolsky stated, 'Together, Nadine Menendez and the Senator placed their own interests and greed ahead of the interests of the citizens the Senator was elected to serve.'
