Inside Alec Brook-Krasny’s stunning fall from grace
Former lawmaker broke law, narcotics prosecutor charges
The indictment handed up against former New York state Assemblymember Alec Brook-Krasny charging him with taking part of an elaborate scheme to illegally prescribe opioids to patients marked a dramatic fall from grace for the one-time popular politician.
Brook-Krasny was indicted, along with 12 other defendants, on health care fraud and other charges on April 7.
Brook-Krasny, a Democrat, represented the 46th Assembly District (Bay Ridge-Dyker Heights-Coney Island) from 2006 to mid-2015, when he suddenly announced that he was resigning to take a job in the private sector.
