Daibes is now a key figure in a sweeping bribery case brought against Menendez, his wife and multiple other associates. Menendez, according to the indictment, then badgered both Sellinger and the prosecutor who had been put in charge of Daibes case, calling them several times. Menendez also asked one of his political advisors to let Sellinger know he was upset with the way the Daibes case was being handled, according to the indictment. Last year, following a delayed trial, Daibes pleaded guilty in his bank fraud case. But his sentencing has been repeatedly delayed and is now scheduled to take place next month.

Bob Menendez of New Jersey and his wife were indicted in New York on federal bribery charges for accepting cash, gold bars, home mortgage payments and more as part of "corrupt relationship" with three businessmen from their home state. "This investigation is very much ongoing," said Manhattan U.S. Attorney Damian Williams at a press conference on the indictment of the senator and his wife, Nadine Menendez.

U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Menendez, D-N.J., and his wife, Nadine Arslanian, arrive for a reception honoring Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and his wife, Mareva Mitsotakis, in the East Room of the White House in Washington, D.C., May 16, 2022. Those efforts allegedly included the senator recommending to Biden that he nominate a candidate for U.S. Attorney for New Jersey "who Menendez believed could be influenced by Menendez with respect to Daibes's case," the indictment charges.

“For years, forces behind the scenes have repeatedly attempted to silence my voice and dig my political grave,” Menendez said in a statement. It's a sign, those who know Menendez said, that he won't be going anywhere without a fight, for now. His own biography touts the fact that he wanted to fight corruption early in his political career, testifying against Union City officials and building a reputation as tough. Menendez was appointed to be a U.S. senator in 2006 when the seat opened up after incumbent Jon Corzine became governor. The couple began dating in 2018 and got engaged in 2019 after meeting at an IHOP in Union City, a frequent haunt of Menendez’s.

A convicted Ponzi schemer, whose prison sentence President Donald J. Trump commuted in one of his last official White House acts, is facing new fraud federal charges of bilking investors in a series of phony deals. The man, Eliyahu Weinstein, a former used car salesman from Lakewood, N.J., was serving a 24-year sentence in connection with two schemes, when Mr. Trump freed him from prison in January 2021. One involved defrauding members of his tight-knit Orthodox Jewish community out of more than $200 million. On Wednesday, federal prosecutors in New Jersey charged Mr. Weinstein, 48, along with four other men, with defrauding at least 150 people out of $35 million. “These were brazen and sophisticated crimes that involved multiple conspirators and drew right from Weinstein’s playbook of fraud,” Philip R. Sellinger, the U.S. attorney for New Jersey, said at a news conference.

July 7 (Reuters) - A former U.S. Army financial counselor from New Jersey was criminally charged on Friday with defrauding grieving military families out of life insurance payments, causing millions of dollars of losses while reaping big commissions for himself. The U.S. Department of Justice charged Caz Craffy, 41, of Colts Neck, New Jersey, through a 10-count indictment with wire fraud, securities fraud and making false statements targeting members of at least two dozen Gold Star families. Craffy "preyed upon these vulnerable families," U.S. Attorney Philip Sellinger in New Jersey said at a news conference. Craffy, who is also known as Carz Craffey, also faces civil charges from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Gold Star families include people who have immediate family members who died in active duty.

A New Jersey man who allegedly wrote an antisemitic diatribe and shared it online, prompting a public warning last week from the FBI, was arrested Thursday, federal officials said. Prosecutors said Alkattoul wrote in the document that “I am the attacker" and "I did target a synagogue." The threat prompted the FBI last Thursday to issue a public warning to New Jersey synagogues. “Upon receipt of threat information against an unspecified New Jersey area synagogue, the FBI notified community leaders and our law enforcement partners,” the FBI Newark said in a statement on Friday. Phil Murphy said in a statement Friday that while the specific threat may be mitigated, officials will remain vigilant amid a wave of antisemitism.
