Sanjaya convicted of bribery; strippers, prostitutes involved
PJM's Claudia Rosett has the details on Sanjaya and other dastardly criminals.
What? U.N. bureaucrat Sanjaya Bahel, of course.
His former co-defendant, Nishan Kohli, pleaded guilty to bribery and testified against Bahel, saying he gave his family so much inside information about pending contracts that the Kohlis came to think of Bahel as a business partner.Who did you think I meant?
Kohli, of Miami, testified that as the favors poured in, the Kohlis rewarded Bahel by letting him rent two luxury midtown Manhattan apartments at a huge discount and later buy them cheaply.
Kohli said Bahel advised the family how to qualify for U.N. contracts it otherwise might not get and even wrote some of its correspondence with the United Nations.
Kohli also testified he bribed two U.N. procurement officers with a lavish night on the town that included a strip club visit and a hotel room with prostitutes. He said he repeated the night for one of them a few more times, paying for a prostitute again.
