Aug. 27 (UPI) -- Prosecutors seek a seven-year sentence for Nadine Menendez, the wife of former Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., for her part in a bribery and corruption scheme.
Nadine Menendez, 58, is scheduled for sentencing on Sept. 11 in the U.S. District Court for Southern New York courtroom in Manhattan, where her husband was sentenced to 11 years in federal prison in January.
Nadine Menendez "did not commit bribery reluctantly, fleetingly or on a small scale," federal prosecutors told U.S. District Court Judge Sidney Stein, as reported by The New York Times.
"She did so eagerly, for years, and in a scheme implicating foreign relations, national security and the integrity of state and federal law enforcement," they argued.
