Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and his wife Nadine have beenindicted in New York for allegedly accepting bribes in relation to an allegedly corrupt relationship they hadwith three businessmen from their home state. The indictment also chargesthree businessmen,Wael Hana, Jose Uribe and Fred Daibes.

Daibes, a developer and former bank chairman, allegedly gave Menendez gold bars valued at approximately $400,000, in exchange for assistance in a case in which he facedfederal bank charges.
Instead of facing over 10 years in prison,Daibes, a felon, only ended up serving probation after striking an agreement with the US Attorney's Office in New Jersey.
"For purposes of the Federal Extortion Act,it makes no difference if the senator took an official act so long as he accepted the money and there was knowledge the money was in exchange for that official influence,even if he never carried out what he had promised he would do," according toNBCLegal Analyst Danny Cevallos.
Menendez disclosed that his family had accepted gold bars in 2020. Daibes encountered bank fraud chargesthat could have netted him up to a decade in prison for lying about a nearly $2 million loan from Mariner's Bank, where Daibes served as chairman.
Last year, however, New Jersey's U.S. Attorney's Office agreed to let Daibes plead guilty to one count and serve probation. They said Daibes had repaid the loan. -Fox News
According to the report, Menendez, 69, is 'close' with US Attorney Philip Sellinger - having supported him for the position, while Sellinger had previously raised funds for Menendez's campaign.

Egyptian officials and the New Jersey businessman who received the contract were hosted by Menendez in his office in 2018, according to the Wall Street Journal. A year later, the businessman became the "sole certifier of halal meat exported from the U.S. to Egypt," the outlet noted.
NBC News 4 saidthe gifts included the usage of a Mercedes and a luxury Washington, D.C., apartment. Investigators are attempting to resolve if Menendez, chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, used his standing to help the man secure the contract. -Fox News
According to the indictment,Menendez provided 'sensitive US Government information to Egypt.'

Menendez and his wife are charged with three counts: conspiracy to commit bribery, conspiracy to commit honest services fraud, and conspiracy to commit extortion under color of official right.
In June of last year, federal agents searched Menendez's New Jersey home, where they found "fruits" of the pair's "corrupt bribery agreement" with the three businessman - including over $480,000 in cash, some of which was stuffed in envelopes, and $70,000 in Nadine Menendez's safe deposit box.
They also found gold bars worth over $100,000, "provided by either Hana or Daibes."
In the months before his office admitted he was under federal investigation,Menendez's wife sold up to $400,000 in gold barsbetween April 7, 2022 and June 16, 2022.
