| A trial date has been set for oft indicted State Senator Efrain Gonzalez, a Bronx Democrat. Details from West Bronx Blog:
Legally-embattled State Senator Efrain Gonzalez will enjoy at least six more months of innocence when a federal judge in Manhattan recently set his trial date for Nov. 26 .
Gonzalez faces nine separate counts ranging from mail fraud to embezzlement for allegedly funneling more than $400,000 in government grants (known as member items), through three non-profits, back into his own pocket.
I'm sure you'll remember what Senator Gonzalez was accused of doing with that money. For those who may have missed it, he allegedly used all that loot to buy houses in the Dominican Republic and to prop up his cigar business.
What a piece of work. |
