Dem. Senator Bob Menendez (NJ) allegedly took Mercedes bribe after his then future wife killed man in 2018 crash



Indicted current Democrat NJ Senator Robert Menendez  who is accused of agreeing to meddle in a criminal probe in exchange for a brand new Mercedes Benz, allegedly accepted a bribe after his soon-to-be lovely wife Nadine, killed a man in a traffic accident that left her vehicle totaled.

Nadine Arslanian Menendez, 56, was Bobby's on-again, off-again "friend with benefits" at the time when she slammed into Richard Koop, 49, as he crossed a road in Bogota, New Jersey at about 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 12, 2018, according to reports on Wednesday.

The dead man was tested for alcohol and drugs in his system, but Arslanian was not.

Local cops questioned Arslanian briefly, then allowed her to leave when they decided that she was "not at fault," as reported by former newspaper, The New York Times.

Menendez's future wife said to police that she didn't see Koop, although she was driving her black Mercedes at a speed fast enough to fling Koop's mangled body to the curb, just steps from his residence. He died almost instantly and his wife could hardly recognize his body.

Arslanian’s Mercedes was destroyed--he windshield was shattered, the front end was badly destroyed because after she hit Koop, she smashed into a parked car, according to a Bogota police report.

The senior senator from New Jersey married his lovely wife in October 2020.

Menendez and his lovely wife were indicted last month for allegedly trading favors to help three New Jersey businessmen and the government of Egypt. 

The feds allege that Menendez, 69, agreed to call a senior prosecutor at the NJ attorney general's office to have them go easy on an associate of Jose Uribe, a businessman. In return, Uribe, a former insurance agent in Bob's hometown of Union City, allegedly agreed to get Bob's lovely wife a new Benz, the indictment reads.

“All is GREAT! I’m so excited to get a car next week. !!” Arslanian texted Wael Hana — a shady Egyptian-American businessman from North Jersey who was also close with Uribe — a few days after Menendez’s alleged call.

Arslanian-Menendez was signing papers for the $60,000 C-300 Mercedes-Benz convertible by April 2019, according to prosecutors, almost before the blood on her crashed Mercedes had time to dry.

Last month, federal prosecutors indicted the Menendez for accepting hundreds of thousands in bribes — including the new Mercedes.

“Congratulations mon amour de la vie,” Arslanian texted Menendez, the indictment said. “We are the proud owners of a 2019 Mercedes.”

Both Uribe, 56, and Hana, 40, were indicted alongside Menendez and his wife last month, along with Fred Daibes, a well-known 66-year-old real estate developer and big-time fundraiser for Menendez.

Federal prosecutors have said Menendez accepted hundreds of thousands in bribes in the form of cash, gold bars, the Mercedes and even exercise machines during a four-year period, starting in 2018. It's doubtful that he used the exercise equipment, but his lovely wife may have.

Both Menendez and his lovely wife have pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The loving couple have no beautiful children.
