ALBANY — Members of Mayor de Blasio’s fund-raising operation are not
the only ones facing potential criminal charges recommended by the state
Board of Elections.
The board, at the urging of Chief Enforcement Officer Risa Sugarman,
made five formal criminal referrals in 2016 to local district attorneys
or the state Attorney General’s office, the Daily News has learned.
Sugarman said that by law she cannot discuss the specifics of any cases
she formally recommended for potential criminal prosecution.
The News first reported last year that a referral involving de Blasio
and his fund-raising operation related to their unsuccessful attempt to
help state Senate Democrats capture the chamber majority. The Manhattan
District Attorney’s Office has been presenting evidence to a grand jury.
