SUMMARY OF THE CASE
Nadine Menendez, along with then-Senator Robert Menendez, Wael Hana, Jose Uribe, and Fred Daibes, was indicted for participating in a bribery scheme. The charges included conspiracy to commit bribery, honest services wire fraud, extortion under color of official right, and obstruction of justice. Both were found guilty at trial. Mrs. Menendez moved to overturn the jury verdict.
In UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v. NADINE MENENDEZ, No. (S4) 23-Cr-490 (SHS), United States District Court, S.D. New York (July 31, 2025) the USDC upheld the convictions after a lengthy analysis of issues raised by Ms. Menendez.
KEY POINTS
-
Bribery and Corruption:
The evidence presented was sufficient to prove a corrupt quid pro quo involving official acts related to the Egypt scheme, New Jersey state criminal matters, and the Daibes federal prosecution scheme.
-
Menendez promised to sign off on a foreign military sale to Egypt and exerted pressure on the USDA to favor IS EG Halal Certifiers Inc., a company owned by Hana.
-
Payments and benefits received included mortgage payments, consulting fees, and a Mercedes-Benz convertible .
-
Obstruction of Justice:
Menendez and Nadine Menendez attempted to obstruct justice by creating false documents and transmitting false information to the grand jury.
They fabricated a cover story that payments received were loans, not bribes .
-
Conspiracy to Act as an Agent of a Foreign Principal:
Menendez acted as an agent of Egypt by sharing sensitive information and assisting Egyptian officials in various ways.
The evidence showed Menendez’s shift in public position to be less critical of Egypt and his involvement in meetings and communications with Egyptian officials .
-
Venue and Legal Proceedings:
The court found that venue was proper in the Southern District of New York for all counts.
The court denied Nadine Menendez’s motion for a judgment of acquittal and a new trial, finding no manifest injustice.
-
Multiplicitous Counts:
Counts 1 and 15 were found to be multiplicitous, and judgment was imposed on only one of these counts .
Conclusion
The court upheld the jury’s verdict, finding sufficient evidence to support the convictions on all counts. The motion for a new trial was denied, and the court emphasized the importance of ensuring justice and maintaining the integrity of the legal process .
Defendant’s motion for a judgment of acquittal pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 29 was denied on the ground that the evidence at trial was more than sufficient to sustain her conviction on all counts; in addition, defendant’s motion for a new trial pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 33 was denied on the ground that defendant has failed to identify any injustice – let alone a manifest injustice – requiring a new trial.
ZALMA OPINION
Senator and Mrs. Menendez engaged in multiple schemes with, among others, the government of Egypt that allowed them to gain money and gold bars in exchange for favorable action in the US Senate. The Crime was egregious and the convictions were rendered by the jury after hearing convincing evidence. Although the opinion is lengthy none of the claims made by Mrs. Menedez for a new trial or an acquittal were convincing.
