Vivian Wang and Benjamin Weiser report in The New York Times that former aide to Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Joseph Percoco, was found guilty on March 13 of conspiracy to commit honest services wire fraud and solicitation of bribes after eight days of jury deliberations. Federal prosecutors accused Percoco of accepting more than $300,000 in bribes from three executives from two companies with state business when he was the governor’s executive deputy secretary. Percoco was found not guilty of extortion and conspiracy to commit extortion. “Yes, I am disappointed,” Percoco said after the verdict, saying he was considering an appeal. There were other co-defendants in the case: Steven Aiello, was found guilty of conspiracy to commit honest services wire fraud; Joseph Gerardi, was acquitted of all charges; and the jury could not reach consensus on two bribe-related counts against Peter Galbraith Kelly Jr. Read the full story in The New York Times.
