U.S. Senator Robert Menendez, His Wife, And Three New Jersey Businessmen Charged With Bribery Offenses
In-Depth Coverage
Friday, September 22, 2023
For Immediate Release
U.S. Attorney's Office, Southern District of New York
Robert
Menendez Allegedly Agreed to Use His Official Position to Benefit Wael
Hana, Jose Uribe, Fred Daibes, and the Government of Egypt in Exchange
for Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars of Bribes to Menendez and His
Wife Nadine Menendez, Which Included Gold Bars, Cash, and a Luxury
Convertible
Damian Williams, the United States Attorney for the
Southern District of New York, and James Smith, the Assistant Director
in Charge of the New York Field Office of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation ("FBI"), announced that an Indictment was unsealed this
morning charging U.S. Senator ROBERT MENENDEZ, his wife NADINE
MENENDEZ, a/k/a "Nadine Arslanian," and three New Jersey businessmen,
WAEL HANA, a/k/a "Will Hana," JOSE URIBE, and FRED DAIBES, with
participating in a years-long bribery scheme. The Indictment alleges
that MENENDEZ and his wife, NADINE MENENDEZ, accepted hundreds of
thousands of dollars of bribes from HANA, URIBE, and DAIBES in exchange
for MENENDEZ's agreement to use his official position to protect and
enrich them and to benefit the Government of Egypt. Among other things,
MENENDEZ agreed and sought to pressure a senior official at the U.S.
Department of Agriculture in an effort to protect a business monopoly
granted to HANA by Egypt, disrupt a criminal case undertaken by the New
Jersey Attorney General's Office related to associates of URIBE, and
disrupt a federal criminal prosecution brought by the U.S. Attorney's
Office for the District of New Jersey against DAIBES. MENENDEZ, NADINE
MENENDEZ, HANA, URIBE, and DAIBES are expected to appear in federal
court in Manhattan on Wednesday, September 27, 2023, at 10:30 a.m. The
case is assigned to U.S. District Judge Sidney H. Stein.
U.S.
Attorney Damian Williams said: "As the grand jury charged, between
2018 and 2022, Senator Menendez and his wife engaged in a corrupt
relationship with Wael Hana, Jose Uribe, and Fred Daibes - three New
Jersey businessmen who collectively paid hundreds of thousands of
dollars of bribes, including cash, gold, a Mercedes Benz, and other
things of value - in exchange for Senator Menendez agreeing to use his
power and influence to protect and enrich those businessmen and to
benefit the Government of Egypt. My Office is firmly committed to
rooting out corruption, without fear or favor, and without any regard
to partisan politics. We will continue to do so."
FBI
Assistant Director in Charge James Smith said: "The FBI has made
investigating public corruption a top priority since our founding �
nothing has changed. The alleged conduct in this conspiracy damages the
public's faith in our system of government and brings undue scorn to
the honest and dedicated public servants who carry out their duties on a
daily basis. To those inclined to use the status of their public
office for personal benefit, or those willing to provide bribes in an
attempt to gain influence from a public official, the FBI will ensure
that you face the consequences in the criminal justice system for your
underhanded dealings."
