This was reported in the New York Post online July 4th 2010 updated at 7:28AM.
Senate Majority Leader Pedro Espada Jr. -- accused of living large off the money from his Bronx health-care empire -- could face criminal charges for lying on state and federal applications to get more cash for the clinics, The Post has learned.
Sources say Attorney General Andrew Cuomo's office is looking at mail-fraud and conspiracy charges that could land the Bronx Democrat in prison for at least 10 years on each count.
The charges relate to declarations made on state and federal forms and tax returns for the Comprehensive Community Development Corp., which runs clinics under the name Soundview HealthCare Network. The embattled Espada is CEO of the nonprofit.
The criminal charges could come this summer, The Post has learned.
Espada's representative did not respond to requests from the Post for comment.
We suggest you read the New York Post article at the link above as we have taken only some of the article.
We are intrigued by the line criminal charges could come this summer. Does this mean right before the Democratic Primary in September?
