Solid gold bars that were found in Senator Bob Menendez’s house have been connected to a heist from 2013. This startling discovery was made possible by court documents that NBC News was able to obtain during an FBI raid earlier this year.
Official records claim that Fred Daibes, a real estate entrepreneur in New Jersey, was the victim of an armed robbery in his Edgewater penthouse apartment, and that Bergen County prosecutors have filed charges against him. Daibes revealed an astonishing 22 gold bar and $500,000 cash robbery. The gold bars, which are identified by their distinct serial numbers, are clearly owned by him, and he even offered official documentation confirming this. Follow along for more information on this audacious theft.

“Each gold bar has its own serial number,” Daibes told investigators. “They’re all stamped…you’ll never see two stamped the same way.”
The crime resulted in the arrest of four persons. Ten years later, gold bars were discovered at Menendez and his wife’s house. They have been charged with receiving bribes in exchange for putting their friends and campaign supporters’ interests ahead of the senator’s.
Daibes received the bar, serial number 590005, from Swiss Bank Corp. following the guilty pleas of the four criminals. Questions are raised by the enigmatic trip to Senator Menendez’s residence, and the illegal transaction implicates him even more.
“All of this spells bad news for Sen. Menendez, because the chain of custody — it appears — is going to be really easy to prove up,” Danny Cevallos, legal analyst for NBC, stated.
Senator Menendez found himself in hot water in September after he was charged on a federal level. According to the claims, he was responsible for arranging a “corrupt bribery agreement” that sought to benefit three contributors by exerting pressure on the Egyptian government to approve their company. Menendez, who was a prominent member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is also accused of using his position to help a contributor avoid prosecution in a bank fraud case, which further fuels the scandal. The crisis that is developing throws light on the widespread misuse of authority and corruption in politics.

When a Democratic politician’s New Jersey house was raided, thirteen gold bars and $500,000 in cash stashed in strange places were found. If this astonishing revelation is proven true, the politician may face a 45-year prison term if found guilty.
In opposition to calls for his resignation from his Democratic colleagues, Senator Menendez vehemently rejects any misconduct. He credits his childhood in communist Cuba, where he learnt to value readiness, for his gold possessions. Both Senator Menendez and his wife, Nadine, think it’s important to keep assets on hand in case of unforeseen events.
