Rat pol cuffed; Perjury rap for Assembly informant Castro (Votino fraud alert)
NY POST ^ | 4/11/13

Posted on 04/11/2013 5:22:43 AM PDT by Liz

Dominican Republican native Nelson Castro was arraigned on a perjury charge--Castro lied under oath, denying knowing his own campaign workers who boosted Castro's election chances using Votino Fraud---registering numerous illegal Dominicans to vote at home addresses. Democrat Castro got wired to save himself, and over four years recorded crooked legislators taking bribes--one was taped actually "selling" legislation. Castro is cooperating in investigations of corrupt pols — a revelation that has rocked Albany. He was released without bail.

Castro's woes began in 2008 when the Bd of Elections began examining Castro’s eligibility to run for office after allegations surfaced that numerous illegal DOminican voters were registered at his home address and at the home of campaign worker, Dominican Steve Santana. During a 2008 hearing, Castro lied under oath, denying he knew the votino fraudster---and Desdemona Cruz who was on the candidate-selection committee that anointed Castro--intent on putting Dominican natives on the ballot to increase latino power in Albany. Castro had forged signatures on petitions to earlier seek office as a district leader.

TOPICS: Crime/Corruption; Government; Politics/Elections
KEYWORDS:
The fact that illegal Dominicans used home addresses of Castro, his campaign worker (and other Dominicans?), means they are probably registered at their own addresses, as well. How many times did these people vote? Castro should be nailed on this.

CASTRO’S LIFE OF CRIME NOT A PROBLEM-—Castro’s extensive rap sheet was apparently not considered a deterrent for office. The candidate selection committee used corrupt Dominican standards-—a Third World satrap where everything is for sale.

Bronx Democrat Nelson Castro, a Dominican Republic native-—led a life of crime before landing in the legislature.

<><> a 1989 felony arrest in Michigan for larceny. Michigan court records show that 19-year old Castro pled guilty to a misdemeanor conspiracy and was sentenced to 180 days probation.

<><> In 2003, Castro was arrested again in New York, this time for grand larceny. He was accused of pocketing $4,900 in unemployment checks while holding a job. He pled guilty to petty larceny, repaid the money and was slapped with three years probation.

<><> Then in March 2008, Castro was arrested a third time — for driving in East Harlem with a revoked license and as a scofflaw who owed more than $3,000 in parking tickets.

Even more disturbing revelations followed—lying under oath, votino fraud, and forging petitions for public office.

WERE TAX DOLLARS USED TO FINANCE VOTINO FRAUD? In a cruel joke on taxpayers, this shyster Castro chaired NY state Assembly's "Task Force on New Americans." DO THIS NOW Every govt budget, agency, committee, and bank account under Castro's control should be examined with a fine-tooth comb for govt fraud, racketeering, conspiracy, collusion, nepotism, secret LLC accounts, and money laundering, wire fraud, tax evasion, etc, etc, etc.

The super-secretive criminal latino underworld is now infesting the US political system. The collusive tight-knit coterie of conspiratorial political operatives have one goal----to loot the public treasury, and act as a pressure group to advance Third World ambitions. All attempts to lift the veil of criminality is met with cries of foul. But that should not be a deterrent

TAKE A GUESS---ARE ILLEGAL BRONX DOMINICANS ENGAGED IN GOVT FRAUD? Taxpayers must demand that L/E subpoena copies of Castro's legislative district (1) checks, (2) wire transfers, (3) bank account statements, (4) invoices, (5) bills, (6) delivery tickets, (7) correspondence including e-mail, employment contracts, salary agreements, and, (8) all legislative district financial books/records.

Scrutinize Castro's legislative district bank accounts for suspicious activites: (A) large deposits, (B) funds transferred from one account into another, (C) request for withdrawals.

=================================================

REFERENCE Under the Bank Secrecy Act passed by Congress, banks are required to establish, implement and maintain programs designed to detect and report suspicious activity indicative of money laundering, govt fraud and other financial crimes. “The Bank Secrecy Act was enacted to protect the tax-paying public from harm by identifying and detecting money laundering from criminal enterprises, govt fraud, tax evasion, money laudering and other unlawful activities,” explained the special agent in charge for Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigations.

NY POST UNCOVERED DOMINICAN REPUBLIC VOTINO SCAM----FACILITATED BY "HISPANIC FEDERATION" WITH TAX DOLLARS :

EDITED/ EXCERPT The NY-BASED Hispanic Federation has a $22 million treasure chest of public monies. The non-profit federation mysteriously pays out small amounts, from $400-800, to individuals---but fails to detail on official documents the purpose of the outlays---as required by law.

An unnamed federation insider told the NY Post that the payments subsidize votino scams. The insider confided: "I use federation funds (public monies) to pay a lady for bringing latino seniors to a Democrat political event. The Hispanic Federation promised to send the lady and her family to her homeland----the Dominican Republic----in exchange for rounding up votes.”

VOTINO SCAM COVER-UP---A federation spokesman called the allegations “simply untrue,” saying it ONLY provides funds for those in need of disaster relief. The Hispanic Federation spokesman explained the unrecorded payments were for families of victims of American Airlines Flight 587, which crashed in Queens in 2001, or "other people in need."

Now if only they’d nail Shelly Silver for his corrupt crap.
They jailed Joe Bruno for doing teh exact same stuff Silver does.
Not to mention Silver supporting and protecting his aide from arrest and prosecution for his sex crimes.

Albany needs a good cleaning out.

Silver supported and protected his aide from arrest and prosecution for sex crimes.

And when the victims went to Silver for help, he did nothing....knew about the crimes but failed to report them....a crime in itself.

The women were victimized over and over---little did they know Silver got vicarious thrills hearing Boxley recount his sex traps of young interns.

TAX-FINANCED VOTINO SCAMS---FACILITATED BY TAX-FUNDED "HISPANIC FEDERATION":
The NY-based "Hispanic Federation" has a $22 million treasure chest of public monies. The non-profit federation mysteriously pays out small amounts, from $400-800, to individuals---but fails to detail on official documents the purpose of the outlays---as required by law.

An unnamed federation insider told the NY Post that the payments subsidize votino scams. The insider confided: "I use federation funds (public monies) to pay a lady for bringing latino seniors to a Democrat political event. The Hispanic Federation promised to send the lady and her family to her homeland----the Dominican Republic----in exchange for rounding up votes.”

VOTINO SCAM COVER-UP---An Hispanic Federation spokesman called the votino scam allegations “simply untrue,” saying it ONLY provides funds for those in need of disaster relief. The Hispanic Federation spokesman explained the unrecorded payments were for families of victims of American Airlines Flight 587, which crashed in Queens in 2001, or "other people in need."

==================================================

The federation has ties to almost every Hispanic lawmaker in The Bronx, including Rivera, but primarily benefits two men: political strategist Luis Miranda, who co-founded it and once served as its president, and Roberto Ramirez, a former Bronx Democratic Party boss. The men run a private political consulting firm, the MirRam Group. It’s paid by the Hispanic Federation and is hired by politicians who steer taxpayer money to the nonprofit.

A NY Post investigation has found:

<><><>* The Hispanic Federation paid MirRam and Miranda Towns, a firm registered to Miranda and his wife, $681,644 between 1999 and 2008 for “consulting,” records show.

<><><>* In 2005, the federation paid MirRam $88,000 to survey Latinos on topics including the mayor’s race. At the same time, MirRam was paid $1.37 million by Fernando Ferrer, then a mayoral candidate.

<><><>* Ramirez and Miranda gave political allies jobs at the nonprofit. Ex-Secretary of State Lorraine Cortez Vazquez, who had been Ramirez’s chief of staff, made more than $180,000 a year there.

<><><>* The Hispanic Federation paid MirRam $33,000 this year to lobby the City Council, records show.

Miranda launched the Hispanic Federation in 1990, the year Ramirez won an Assembly seat in Fordham. Ramirez left politics in 2000 and handed the party reins to Assemblyman José Rivera in 2002---father of voted-out Assemblyman/sexpot Naomi.

Hispanic insiders say that if you want influence in The Bronx, you have to deal with the Hispanic Federation and, by extension, MirRam consultants. Nonprofits, for instance, pay the Hispanic Federation to do their bookkeeping.

THIRD WORLD DOMINICAN REPUBLIC HAS IRON GRIP ON AMERICA'S ELECTORAL SYSTEM--more below.

The FBI is on the tail of NY state Sen. Adriano Espaillat (D-Manhattan), a Dominican native, and his penchant for sucking up tax dollars for so-called “needy latino community groups.”

Dominican Espaillat sucked up 100 “member items” as an assemblyman, including $500,000 public monies for his nonprofit, the grandiously named, “Northern Manhattan Coalition for Economic Development.” (NOTE: “Member items” is a nauseating extortion scam for greedy NY state legislative members).


DOMINICAN KNOWN AS SENATOR PORK FBI agents want to know about Democrat Espillat’s use of public monies for “needy groups” that employed a covey of Dominican Republic natives including Espaillat’s sister-in-law, a Democratic district leader and several campaign consultants.

FBI scrutiny comes as Espaillat’s ex-COS (once-elected to the Assembly—now resigned in disgrace) admits he got wired for the FBI. Nelson Castro, a Dominican Republic native, got wired to save himself—he lied to the FBI WRT a parade of Dominican Republic illegals corrupting the US election system—unlawfully registered to vote using Castro’s address.

Espillat zipped his lips when asked whether Dominican native Castro assisted in FBI probes of Espaillat.

BTW, Espaillat’s economic development scam closed down in 2011 (member items became extinct—the needy Dominican Republican commuity has to do without (/snix) ). But Espillat appointed the n/p’s executive director—Dominican Republic native Nurys de Oleo—to a $50,000-a-year job as Sen Espaillat’s “special assistant.”

(Mmmmmm.....sure would like to see de Oleo’s job description up against his actual duties.)

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC HAS AN IRON GRIP ON AMERICA’S POLITICAL/ELECTORAL SYSTEM—its greedy tentacles surface in every facet of US power centers.

THE GIMME ZOMBIES-—LYING-IN-WAIT The cunning Dominican govt survives on billions of our tax dollars which its illegal residents located here send back home-—all of them riding the US gravy train. Neutral Dominican Republic travel brochures belittle the do-nothing Caribbean Third World satrap teemimg with poverty. The do-nothing Dominican govt provides no social safety nets for needy citizenry. The connivers work the US system-—quitely and secretly lying-in-wait-—to maximize its iron grip on America’s power centers.

DOMINICAN MEDDLING IN MENENDEZ IMBROGLIO IS AN OUTRAGE It is an unconscionable travesty against representative democracy— that the corrupt Dominican Republic meddling in US affairs-—cooking the books offshore to help Menendez stay in power. HOW DO YOU SAY QUID PRO QUO IN SPANISH? Clearly, a deal was made. IF (BIG IF) the Dominican Republic saves Menendez’s degenerate a** (and prevents the dreaded Christie appointment), Obama will write the foreign aid check w/ plenty of zeros.

BOTTOM LINE Menendez has TWO governments protecting him——
New Jerseyans have not even one government looking after our interests.
The Gimme Zombies meddling marginalizes Americans. It is unconscionable to see Dominicans.

DOMINICANS COLLUDING AGAINST US INTERESTS?
