Ex-Senate Leader, Son Plead Not Guilty
The former leader of the New York Senate and his son pleaded not guilty to public corruption charges on Monday after prosecutors told a judge that investigators secretly intercepted thousands of their telephone calls.
Asked by U.S. District Judge Kimba Wood to outline the evidence, prosecutor Rahul Mukhi said investigators had amassed 2,400 recordings of calls by Dean Skelos and his son, Adam, plus hundreds of thousands of documents, including emails, bank statements and phone records. The audio came from wiretaps lasting about 2 1/2 months on the father’s phone and four months on that of his son.
Dean Skelos has said he will fight the charges and that he and his son, whom he and his wife adopted as a child, will be vindicated.
