The latest indictment against a former state Senate leader says he pressured a malpractice insurance company that wanted to discuss legislation with him into hiring his son, and then supported his son after he bragged to his new boss that he didn’t have to show up for work because of his father’s powerful post.
The indictment, returned Tuesday in Manhattan federal court, boosted charges against 67-year-old Dean Skelos and 33-year-old Adam Skelos, who now face eight counts, including new extortion and bribery charges.
