NEW YORK—The former leader of the New York Senate and his son have pleaded not guilty in a federal corruption case.
An indictment levels conspiracy and extortion charges against 67-year-old Dean Skelos (SKEHL'-ohs) and his 32-year-old son, Adam. They were arraigned Monday in Manhattan.
The indictment returned Thursday says a medical malpractice insurer provided Adam Skelos with a no-show job while it lobbied his father on legislative matters.
