Bob Menendez was convicted of all 16 corruption charges.

In a unanimous decision, the jury found Senator Bob Menendez guilty of all charges in his corruption trial.

The New Jersey senator, who was acquitted of a previous corruption indictment in 2017, was convicted of bribery involving businessmen and foreign governments. Bob Menendez was convicted in federal court in Manhattan on 16 counts — including bribery, extortion, wire fraud, obstruction of justice and acting as a foreign agent — for his role in a multi-year bribery scheme.

Prosecutors said the senator tried to use his authority to advance Egyptian military interests, interfere in criminal prosecutions and secure investments from Qatari officials, among other things.

Jurors deliberated for three days before delivering their verdict in the nine-week trial.

Menendez and his wife allegedly received gold bullion, hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, a Mercedes-Benz convertible and other bribes in exchange for his influence.

The senator’s wife, Nadine Menendez, was also charged in the case, but a judge postponed her trial indefinitely after she was diagnosed with breast cancer. He has pleaded not guilty.

The more serious racketeering and fraud charges carry a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison per count. In total, Menendez faces a maximum sentence of 222 years in prison for the 16 counts if served consecutively. However, any sentences will run concurrently unless the court orders otherwise.

Robert Menendez’s co-defendants, New Jersey businessmen Wael Hanna and Farid Daibes, were also convicted on all counts they faced for their roles in the scheme.

Menendez, 70, who until last September was chairman of the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has denied the charges against him: bribery, exercising undue influence peddling in favor of Egypt and Qatar in particular, obstruction of justice, and acting as an agent of a foreign government.
