New York Post presents details of suspicious financial operations of Armenian wife of Senator Menendez

Sen. Bob Menendez’s Armenian wife cashed in up to $400,000 worth of gold bars — despite having faced foreclosure just three years earlier, Report informs referring to the New York Post.

The newspaper presented details of a suspicious financial transaction.

The sale, last spring, was months before his office publicly admitted that the New Jersey Democrat was facing a new federal investigation.

Nadine Arslanian, 56, sold the gold between April 7, 2022, and June 16, 2022, according to the senator’s annual public disclosures. It is equivalent to as much as 13 pounds of pure gold.

The sale was a remarkable financial turnaround for Arslanian, who had reportedly been struggling financially, even facing foreclosure on her home, before she married Menendez in 2020.

But the couple now find themselves at the center of an FBI probe, which began within months of their relationship beginning.

Manhattan federal prosecutors want to know if the senator or his wife received unreported luxury gifts, including a car and a Washington apartment, in return for political favors, according to reports.

As a senator, Menendez is required to declare assets he or his wife own valued at more than $1,000. He does not have to declare their origin.
