Feds busted a Bronx assemblyman today for allegedly pocketing envelopes of cash to push legislation in Albany — marking the second corruption case against a state lawmaker this week.
Assemblyman Eric Stevenson [D-Bronx] got caught in a sting operation in which his co-defendants paid bribes to another, unidentified assemblyman who was cooperating with authorities, according to the Manhattan US Attorney's Office.
Sources have identified the other lawmaker as Assemblyman Nelson Castro [D-Bronx]. His office confirmed his participation in the operation.
