A federal jury found Ozone Park Democrat Albert Baldeo guilty of obstruction of justice, but acquitted him of mail and wire fraud charges Monday, a spokeswoman for U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara.
Baldeo, a former Democratic district leader and candidate for office, turned himself into the FBI in November 2012, after he was charged with having fake donors contribute to his failed 2010 City Council campaign to receive matching funds from the city and obstructing the government’s investigation. He was running against City Councilman Ruben Wills (D-Jamaica).
Jurors handed down convictions on seven obstruction of justice charges, but did not find Baldeo guilty on three charges of mail and wire fraud, Bharara’s staff said.
The seven charges each carry sentences of up to 20 years behind bar, according to Bharara’s office.

What a creep!
Wasn't this guy a lawyer too? Imagine that.
Lock him up and go after all of the other corrupt ones out there in Queens!
I guess the big question is how do we respect this class of people when we look at how many are convicted, how the treat us like garbage, how they sell our communities down the river for a song, and how they get away with all this on our tab.
so this is what the dems can come up with?another indicted pol.
its like they purposely trying to make people not bother voting.
Another fine denizen of Roti Land.Eshri Singh would be proud.(Perhaps Mahipal as well).
Dear John(shit-on-my-shoe)Liu~
Tick, tick , tick
baldeo was a constant queens weekly letter to the editor author,spewing his progressive B/S to the politically uninformed.
but he is now replaced by the second string of dem/lib/ echo chamber spewing the left-wing talking points.
beware queens citizens....
