The federal indictment alleged that Kruger had processed $1 million in bribes through real estate firms controlled by Michael Turano, a gynecologist and "intimate associate" of Kruger's who shared a Mafia mansion in Mill Basin and sported around in a Bentley with his mother, his brother and his much-older domestic partner.
A weeping Turano, who also entered a plea today, faces a five year maximum.
Kruger, who will be sentenced in April, is facing a maximum of 11 years and some months.
Kruger's legal team had been in plea negotiations for several months.
Lobbyist Richard Lipsky, whose clients Kruger allegedly did favors for, is still litigating his case.
The article from the Daily News.
Even before Kruger resigned, the Brooklyn political machine was cranking up to replace him. [Brooklyn Politics.]
