| Description | New York Assemblyman Nelson Castro is stepping down from his post amid a bribery investigation in his district.
The assemblyman said his cooperation with prosecutors led to charges against a colleague in a federal bribery case. Part of the Castro's agreement with authorities called for him to resign after the charges against the colleague, Assemblyman Eric Stevenson, another Bronx Democrat, were announced.
Castro, elected to the Assembly in 2008, said he was indicted a year later for perjury from an earlier civil case and agreed to cooperate with Bronx and federal prosecutors "in conjunction with various investigations aimed at rooting out public corruption." |
