Republican NY State Official Charged With Lying to the FBI
[From article]
The indictment accuses Libous of making a deal in 2006 with a White Plains law firm to hire his son in exchange for steering business to the firm, which was not named.
“Among other things, the grand jury and FBI and IRS were investigating whether Libous told a partner of law Firm 1 that the firm would have to `build a new wing’ to accommodate the business it would receive if it hired his son,” the indictment states.
Authorities charged that Libous arranged for a lobbyist to reimburse the law firm $50,000 to help offset his son’s salary. The lobbying firm was identified by the Albany Times-Union as Ostroff, Hiffa & Associates.
Libous also secured a Range Rover for his son as part of the deal, the indictment states.
