...Avigdor Lieberman with a battery of crimes, including bribery, fraud, money-laundering and obstruction of justice.

After a 10-year probe reaching from Hoboken to Israel, federal agents slapped 44 people with criminal charges. The allegations read like a movie script: assemblymen and mayors took bribes in diners and parking lots; rabbis laundered millions through Jewish charities; a man tried to sell a kidney to an FBI informant. The fallout has been equally cinematic: the mayor of Secaucus resigned July 28, and the same day, another accused official was found dead in suspicious circumstances...
