 Nadine Menendez reports to prison to begin 4½-year sentence in bribery case

  Nadine Menendez, the wife of former New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez, reported to federal prison Friday to begin serving a 54-month sentence for her role in a bribery scheme involving her husband and several New Jersey businessmen.

Menendez was required to surrender by 2 p.m. and was taken into custody at the Federal Correctional Institution in Tallahassee, Florida, where she will serve her sentence.

She was sentenced last September after being convicted of her involvement in a scheme in which she and Bob Menendez accepted cash, gold bars and a luxury vehicle in exchange for using the senator’s political influence.

A judge previously delayed the start of her sentence for several months so she could receive treatment for breast cancer. Her attorneys later requested another postponement until October 30 to allow time for additional medical procedures, but the request was denied.

Prosecutors opposed the extension, arguing they had not been informed of any significant delays in her medical care and that federal prison officials could provide necessary treatment.

The case also led to the resignation of Bob Menendez from the U.S. Senate after his bribery conviction. He was sentenced to 11 years in prison and is currently serving his sentence at a federal prison in Pennsylvania.
