Prosecutors Seek 15-Year Sentence for Bob Menendez on 16 Corruption Charges, First Senator Convicted as Foreign Agent
Jan 10, 2025, 05:44 PM
Federal prosecutors have recommended a 15-year prison sentence for former U.S. Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey, following his conviction on 16 corruption charges. Menendez, a Democrat, was found guilty in July of accepting bribes, including $150,000 in gold bars, $480,000 in cash, and a Mercedes convertible, in exchange for political favors that benefited three New Jersey businessmen, Wael Hana and Fred Daibes, and the governments of Egypt and Qatar. The crimes occurred from 2018 to 2022. The case is notable as Menendez is the first senator convicted of serving as a foreign agent while in office. His sentencing is scheduled for January 29.
