The U.S. Attorney in Manhattan was able to get a former city council member to lose out on some of his pension money and the same prosecutor is asking a judge to freeze out a former Assembly member from enjoying pension dollars he socked away before his conviction on corruption charges.

Preet Bharara on Thursday said Miguel Martinez, who served on the New York City council, is forfeiting his benefits to satisfy a forfeiture order against him.
