So not only is corrupt New Jersey Senate Democrat Robert Menendez a horndog, but he’s also ‘allegedly’ been helping fugitive bankers. Lets see what kind of media coverage Robert Menendez corrupt dealings get compared to fatty Chris Christie’s ‘bridgegate.’ The alleged fugitive bankers that Robert Mendendez has supposedly been ‘helping’ are William Isaias and Roberto Isaias of Ecuador.
The federal criminal investigation into New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez is broader than previously known, NBC 4 New York has learned.
The Department of Justice is investigating Menendez’s efforts on behalf of two fugitive bankers from Ecuador, multiple current and former U.S, officials tell NBC 4 New York. The probe into Menendez’s dealing with the bankers comes as federal authorities are also investigating his relationship to a big campaign donor from Florida.
The criminal investigation is focusing in part on the senator’s ties to William and Roberto Isaias and whether the senator crossed a line in trying to help the two brothers stay in the United States.
The Isaias brothers have been fugitives from their native Ecuador for more than a decade — sentenced in absentia for embezzling millions as the bank they ran there was collapsing.
The Isaias brothers now live in Coral Gables, Fla., running several successful businesses, and they have never been charged in the U.S. But back home in Ecuador, they’re wanted men.
Back in the 1990s, outraged Ecuadorians took to the streets demanding their money back after several banks collapsed including the country’s largest, Filanbanco, which had been run by the Isaias brothers.
