Ed Mangano to be charged with federal corruption
Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano is expected to be charged as early as Thursday with federal corruption, sources told The Post.
The looming charges center on Mangano’s ties to federally-indicted Long Island restaurant magnate Harendra Singh, and will allege that Mangano helped Singh with business deals and in return was treated to free vacations and other perks, sources said Wednesday.
Singh is assisting the feds in an investigation into Mayor de Blasio’s campaign fundraising, the New York Times reported earlier Wednesday. It is unclear whether Singh is cooperating in the Mangano case.
Quid-pro-quo ties between Mangano and Singh have been alleged repeatedly over the past year. Singh, 57, owns a half-dozen restaurants on Long Island, as well as The Water’s Edge eatery in Long Island City.
The restaurateur is a big de Blasio donor, hauling in more than $27,000 for the mayor, who has likewise been generous in return, spending $2,613 on events at The Water’s Edge and appointing him to the Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York.
Singh is charged by the feds with tens of millions of dollars in bribery, fraud and tax evasion charges. Among his alleged crimes was scamming $950,000 from FEMA by inflating claims of Hurricane Sandy damage.
Mangano has been under a shadow since 2013, when Nassau County awarded a $12 million public works contract to AbTech, an Arizona-based environmental company. AbTech got the plum county contract soon after hiring Adam Skelos, son of now-jailed Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos.
Mangano has been county executive since 2009. A spokesman told NBC that the expected charges were ‘complete rumor mill and nonsense.”
Mangano is expected to appear at the federal courthouse in Central Islip on Thursday, sources said.
