Four of the gold bars Sen. Robert Menendez stashed at his home were previously stolen from the businessman accused of bribing the New Jersey Democrat, according to a report. | The serial numbers on some of the gold found by the FBI during a June 2022 raid of Menendez’s Englewood Cliffs, NJ, home match identifiers that Fred Daibes reported to police after a 2013 armed robbery, according to NBC News. Robbers made off with $500,000 in cash and 22 gold bars from Daibes’ Edgewater, NJ, home during the 2013 heist, the outlet reports. Police later nabbed four suspects and recovered the stolen gold. ● The matching serial numbers indicate that authorities have now directly linked at least some of the gold found in Menendez’s home to Daibes, a New Jersey real estate developer and Menendez fundraiser. Daibes has been accused of bribing the senator for a series of favors, including help in disrupting a federal prosecution against him.
