Bronx assemblyman Nelson Castro may face perjury charges
A Bronx Assemblyman believed to have tripped himself up in an election fraud case is expected to be indicted on perjury charges, the Daily News has learned.
The charges against Assemblyman Nelson Castro are expected sometime this or next week, sources told The News.
Castro was accused in last September’s primary of electoral shenanigans after nine voters were found to be registered to his one-bedroom flat in the west Bronx.
A judge still cleared him to run - and he won the 86th Assembly District. Opponents complained later that he lied under oath when he said he was unaware of the registration situation.
It turned out some of the nine were his and his girlfriend’s relatives. The alleged lies under oath are what now have Castro in hot water and facing possible criminal charges, sources said.
A spokesman for Bronx District Attorney Robert Johnson had no comment.
