FEDS CORNER ANOTHER BROOKLYN POL: John Sampson surrenders
Corruption charges continue march through Albany
A once-powerful Brooklyn state senator was arrested today in a widening corruption scandal that has resulted in criminal charges against other lawmakers and turned some into wire-wearing informants.
FBI agents took Sen. John Sampson into custody early Monday at an undisclosed location. He was to appear in federal court in Brooklyn later in the day.
Prosecutors were expected to detail the charges at a news conference.
