ALBANY – U.S. prosecutors are taking the remaining files of New York’s anti-corruption commission as the panel shuts down, and they plan to complete the state investigations, Southern District U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said Thursday.
Bharara’s Manhattan office will move aggressively to complete the Moreland commission’s “important and unfinished work” investigating New York political corruption, he said. In a letter to commissioners Wednesday, he called the closing “premature,” but noted that they have agreed to provide him the “investigative files and all relevant materials.”
