US News: Gold Bars in NJ Senator Menendez’s Residence Linked to Decade-Old Heist in Bribery Investigation

Federal agents discovered gold bars in the residence of Democratic New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez, linking them to a decade-old violent robbery involving real estate developer Fred Daibes.
Menendez and his wife face bribery allegations connected to the Egyptian government.
The engraved serial numbers on the gold bars match those stolen from Daibes in a 2013 heist. Investigations reveal a complex bribery scheme involving local businessmen.

The indictment suggests a connection between the gold bars found in Menendez’s home and those previously possessed by Daibes, further implicating the senator in the high-profile case.
