Ex-Giuliani aide Kerik indicted on 14 counts Former New York police commissioner and Rudy Giuliani protege Bernard Kerik was indicted on 14 federal counts including fraud, obstructing an FBI investigation and lying to the federal government, the U.S. attorney said on Friday. The charges, which could pose an embarrassment to Giuliani as he campaigns for the Republican presidential nomination, had been expected after media reports that a grand jury returned the indictments on Thursday. Former New York mayor Giuliani is the front-runner to be the Republican candidate for the U.S. presidential election in November 2008, according to national opinion polls. New York television stations WABC and WNBC reported that Kerik had already surrendered to federal officials on Friday. A court hearing was scheduled for later in the day. The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York called a news conference with the FBI and the Internal Revenue Service later on Friday to announce the indictment at the courthouse in White Plains, just north of New York City, where the grand jury was investigating Kerik's finances and business dealings. Kerik, 52, and Giuliani were also business partners and, with Giuliani's backing, Kerik was nominated by President George W. Bush in 2004 to be secretary of Homeland Security. Kerik later withdrew his name from nomination after admitting he failed to pay taxes on a nanny and other embarrassing disclosures about his personal life surfaced. The indictment against Kerik charges him with conspiracy, mail fraud and wire fraud in the theft of honest services; obstructing or impeding the administration of the FBI; aiding and assisting the preparation of a false and fraudulent tax return; subscribing to false tax returns; false statements on a loan application; and false statements to the federal government.
