Nadine Menendez sentenced to prison, says ‘I was wrong about my husband.’

Old New Jersey Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez’s wife was sentenced to a federal judge on Thursday for four and a half years in prison.

58 -year -old Nadine Menendez begged for compassion, saying that her husband was a conspiracy that lasted for years and then “squeezed her like a puppet”.

He faces a multi -year federal imprisonment for a spreading plan that is currently convicted and dropped one of the most powerful senators of the country.

The penalty of the US Regional Court judge, Sidney Stein, was delivered to a Manhattan courtroom after the federal prosecutors asked for at least seven years of imprisonment.

His lawyers argued that a long sentence would die in prison because of health problems and asked for 12 months and one day imprisonment.

However, the most dramatic moments were that he re -described the interactions with his husband, whom he said he had met after a series of abusive relationships on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, at the top of his undisputed political power. He called him “God” for how strong he was and how well he treated him. Still, he said he was blind and stupid, and now “eyelid closed”.

Im I was wrong about my husband, Ste Stein said.

Bob Menendez was sentenced to 11 years of imprisonment, while two New Jersey businessmen, Fred Daibes and Wael “Will” Hanna, serve seven and eight years of penalties.

Together, the group is accused of bending the power of the senator to its goals: the effect of golden rods, cash wads and a convertible Mercedes in exchange for Mercedes that can be converted to himself and his wife.

Nadine Menendez was at the center of the entire case in some respects. Although all bribes aim to buy the swing, the prosecutors said that he was doing dirty work and that he was moving between them because he sold the couple’s power.

During the hearing of the Senator – he took place before him because of the diagnosis of a breast cancer delayed his ability to trial – his lawyers adopted a legal strategy. He threw him under the bus.

Nadine Menendez said even this publicly enjoying their lives together, they had breakfast and stuck. However, he told his lawyers to help him defeat his strategies, because if the Senator walked, the federal prosecutors would quit against him.

The aggressive defense strategies failed and a jury senator condemned in every aspect.

Then a separate jury found him guilty of every accusation against him.

Nadine Menendez and his lawyer Sarah Krissoff claimed that it was a soft sentence because of his childhood in Lebanon, where the war torn; The story of abusive relationships, including a domestic violence that leaves it with what Kissoff describes as brain damage; and a relative lack of power compared to other men participating in the plan.

Federal Prosecutor Lara Pomerantz said Nadine Menendez is responsible for his own comprehensive, deliberate and terrible behavior ”.

Stein went to him for 10 months.

Although Nadine Menendez has been without cancer for a year, according to his lawyer, he needs a series of operations to repair the damage to the previous procedures. These may require operations that the federal prison cannot easily provide and recovery for months.

After Stein delivered the penalty, Kissoff then asked the judge to help Nadine Menendez to take the Prisons Bureau to allow him to visit his husband.

Nadine Menendez in a press cartilage outside the courthouse building, said he did not plan the divorce.

Last month, the former senator, imprisoned, used a letter written to throw the defense team under the bus to throw it under the bus.

“It is wrong to argue that Nadine is hungry or need financial and therefore ask others for help,” He wrote. Both began to get out of separate relationships with the senator. He was what his lawyer described as “very terrible relations ve and was beaten when he left the line.

Menendez’s previous fiancée left him just before a jury of a separate 2017 corruption case. In the beginning of 2018, DEJ had a relationship with Nadine that he would later marry. When he offered him in the autumn of 2019, he exploded with a show about “Golden Towers are still very little”.

Until then, prosecutors said that the couple was in the midst of the bribery plan, including doing good for Daibes while trying to close the agreement with an investor who eventually acted as an agent of the Egyptian government and who is a part of the Qatar Royal Family and who defeated separate bank fraud charges.

During the previous penalties in January, their common conspirators made different approaches in their speeches to Stein.

Her husband kept tears in the courtroom, then entered the courthouse steps to throw federal prosecutors in the trash.

Daibes, a great developer that was creditable by building the city of Edgewater, was sentenced to seven years in prison after begging for compassion for compassion.

Hana gave Stein a brave and striking speech questioning the fairness of the American justice system.

The four common defendants appeal their convicts or plans.

Some issues brought up by Bob Menendez are likely to make the judges of the appeal court interesting. He argues that prosecutors violated some kind of immunity members of the Congress and that the Constitution was given by the “speech or discussion” article.
