From the Daily News:City Councilman Miguel Martinez resigned Monday as prosecutors revealed he's agreed to plead to federal charges after an extensive probe of a nonprofit group to which he steered more than $500,000.
The Manhattan U.S. attorney's filed notice a criminal information will accuse Martinez of a crime as early as Tuesday. It would be the first criminal charges against a Council member in the city slush fund scandal.
The notice doesn't disclose the charges, but indicates Martinez has agreed to plead guilty to the unspecified accusations.

Someone brought in the FEDS. Hip Hip Hooray!!!! Let the games begin!!!
I hope Evan, Claire, and others are getting scared. REAL scared!!!
Let him be the first of many. Imagine if you will an empty council chamber and a full cell at the pen! Ha!(And let us hope he spills the beans!)
"Hello, my name is Bubba and I will be your Daddy...."
the first of many ....
Anon # 1 : Let us not forget the Bums in South Brooklyn, namely Recchia & Nelson. Go get them Feds.
Tony Avella will be the last man standing! Honesty is the best policy.
I am in church praying they don't go after the Vallones. Imagine what would happen to their hairlines from the stress of a trial.
500,000 is he all siphoned to this nonprofit group, I am sure the Vallones steer more than that. When is it their turn to face the feds.
Nice to see government working- and crooks being given the boot.
Don't kid yourself about Tony though. They are all the same. He's got the "I'm just like you" shtick that is as old as dirt.
Take a look at campaign finance records and endorsements before blindly supporting someone. His money comes from the same scum.
Martinez, then other council members, then quinn, then doomberg. All falling like flies. How possible might this beautiful scenario actually be people of queens crap??
Bravo!!!!!!
HEY MR. U.S. ATTORNEY...TIME TO LOOK INTO "PARKSIDE" THE PROBABLE EPICENTER/CROSSROADS OF SLUSH FUND MONIES!
EVAN CAN TELL ALL IF THE PROPER VOLTAGE WERE APPLIED TO HIS LITTLE MARBLES!
GET HIM TO GITMO BEFORE THE PLACE CLOSES!
GET RID OG THEM ALL NOW!!!! RISE UP NEW YORK. WISE UP NEW YORK!
If only he had run someone down with a car, attacked someone or jammed a bottle into a woman's eye, he'd still be in the game.
New York, where the senators are more vicious than mad dogs.
All NY public servants are liars, cheats, phonies, and crooks. They are all in it for themselves--- period! To hell with their constituents. GET RID OF THEM ALL -- NOW!!!!!
To all groupies that he had!!!!
my sympathy goes out to you all.
I remember while he was partying you were all out in the streets going up and down flights of stairs getting signatures!!!! changes occur when the prophet walks side too side with his people.
