Dean Skelos, New York Senate Leader, and His Son Are Said to Be Focus of Corruption Inquiry
Source: NY Times
Federal prosecutors have begun presenting evidence to a grand jury considering a case against the leader of the New York State Senate, Dean G. Skelos of Long Island, and his son, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
Investigators have served a number of subpoenas in recent weeks, including several to state senators on Long Island, and federal prosecutors have interviewed people who have had dealings with Adam Skelos, the Republican senators son.
News of the investigation follows the arrest this year of Assemblyman Sheldon Silver, a Manhattan Democrat, and his resignation as speaker; any criminal case against Senator Skelos, the majority leader, would throw the Capitol into further tumult.
Prosecutors and the F.B.I. have focused on at least two areas in their investigation, zeroing in on Adam Skeloss business dealings, according to several people with knowledge of the matter.
