-Lurid Crime Tales-
Egyptian businessman, 40, accused of bribing Sen. Bob Menendez, 69, arrested by feds on corruption charges at JFK and freed on $5million bond
2023-09-27
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] No flight risk there, eh.
  • The arrest, the 40-year-old's lawyer said, came after 40-year-old Wael Hana voluntarily flew to the city to face the federal corruption charges

  • Prosecutors allege the Egypt national was one of three New Jersey businessmen who collectively paid hundreds of thousands to the senator over several years

  • Hours after being cuffed by feds in Queens, Hana pleaded not guilty to the allegations before a federal judge, who had him released on $5million bond

#2  Reported Erodogan has agreed to approve Sweden's membership into NATO in exchange for US approval of F-16s. Sen. Menendez had put a block on approval of the sale of F-16s to Turkey.

Timing of the Menendez raid, after Erdogan relenting on Swedish NATO entry, is suspect since it's been known for years that Menendez was corrupt as well as committing other serious felonies.
