Menendez Faces Fresh Allegations in Bribery Scandal

Democrat Sen. Bob Menendez was accused again of making positive words about Qatar to help Fred Daibes, a New Jersey developer, secure a multi-million-dollar investment from a Qatari-linked company. The superseding indictment alleges that Menendez praised the Muslim nation for helping Daibes get the investment.

Daibes gifted Menendez $10,000–$24,000 costly watches in exchange for the senator’s support, according to the indictment. Daibes sent the senator photographs of the watches and asked, “How about one of these.”

Qataris may have given Menendez‘s wife Formula One Grand Prix tickets in Florida, according to new charges. The senator also received other “things of value” after Daibes won the joint venture. Indicted on bribery accusations for numerous payments, Menendez has pled not guilty to both charges.
