Nadine Menendez, the wife of disgraced former Democratic New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez, was sentenced to 4 1/2 years in prison for playing an intermediary role in her husband’s foreign bribery scheme involving the Egyptian and Qatari governments.
She will serve the prison sentence in addition to three years of supervised release. Federal prosecutors sought seven years behind bars for her, while the defense asked for only one year.
U.S. District Judge Sidney Stein issued the 4 1/2-year sentence due to Menendez’s battle with breast cancer and various other factors. After undergoing surgery for her health condition, she will report to prison on July 10, 2026.
