A co-defendant in the criminal corruption case against Sen. Bob Menendez has pleaded guilty in New York federal court and agreed to cooperate with the prosecution of the New Jersey Democrat.
Menendez’s co-defendant Joe Uribe pleaded guilty to seven counts including conspiracy to commit bribery, honest services fraud, and obstruction of justice.
Uribe, who works in trucking and insurance, was indicted in September in Manhattan federal court with Menendez, Menendez’s wife Nadine, and two other New Jersey businessmen.
Uribe, who lives in Clifton, New Jersey, and the other two men were accused of having a « corrupt relationship » with Menendez.
