Dean Skelos, New York Senate Leader, and His Son Are Said to Be Focus of Federal Inquiry.
Federal prosecutors have begun presenting evidence to a grand jury considering a case against the leader of the New York State Senate, Dean G. Skelos of Long Island, and his son, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
Investigators have served a number of subpoenas in recent weeks, including several to state senators on Long Island, and federal prosecutors have interviewed people who have had dealings with Adam Skelos, the Republican senator’s son.
News of the investigation follows the arrest this year of Assemblyman Sheldon Silver, a Manhattan Democrat, and his resignation as speaker; any criminal case against Senator Skelos, the majority leader, would throw the Capitol into further tumult.
Prosecutors and the F.B.I. have focused on at least two areas in their investigation, zeroing in on Adam Skelos’s business dealings, according to several people with knowledge of the matter.

(FWIW, Dean Skelos lived down the street from me in Rockville Centre when I was growing up. "Adam Skelos, who lives blocks from his father in a well-kept neighborhood in Rockville Centre in Nassau County, is involved in an array of businesses stretching from Long Island to Albany, according to a review by The Times. In recent years, he has held positions at title insurance companies." I don't know whether they're still in MY neighborhood!
