The leader of the New York State Senate is expected to be arrested next week on federal corruption charges. According to a published report, Dean Skelos, along with his son, Adam, will likely face charges that include conspiracy, extortion, and solicitation of bribes. The charges may be announced as early as Monday. The report adds that the two have been at the center of a federal probe that has gone into Adam Skelos' business dealings. This latest development comes three months after Sheldon Silver resigned from his position as Assembly Speaker after he was hit with federal corruption charges.
