Former NY state Senate leader indicted on charges

NEW YORK (Reuters) – New York state's former Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno was indicted on Friday by a federal grand jury on corruption charges linked to his obtaining brokerage business for unions.

The indictment charges the Republican with eight counts, including mail and wire fraud.

Bruno resigned his post in July 2008 after 32 years of public service, saying it was time for him to move on. He said repeatedly the lengthy federal probe of his business dealings would find he had done nothing wrong.
