Bribery and Corruption Trial of Nadine Arslanian Menendez Delayed Indefinitely
Bribery and Corruption Charges
The bribery and corruption trial of Nadine Arslanian Menendez, wife of New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez, has been delayed indefinitely, just one day before it was set to begin. Both Robert and Nadine Menendez were indicted on charges of accepting bribes in the form of cash and gold bars.
Nadine's Past
Before her marriage to Senator Menendez and her subsequent involvement in the corruption case, Nadine Arslanian was known as Nadine Tabourian. She was a prominent fundraiser and socialite in New Jersey.
The delay in the trial comes after the judge presiding over the case ruled that the defense team had not been given sufficient time to prepare. The defense had requested a six-week delay, but the judge granted only a one-week extension.
The Menendez case has been closely watched by legal experts and political observers alike. It is one of the highest-profile corruption cases involving a sitting U.S. Senator in recent years.
