NEW YORK—The once-powerful New York state Senate majority leader, Dean Skelos (R), returned to court on Monday in a retrial of corruption charges that he and his son were convicted of three years ago.

The indictment alleges that three companies paid Dean Skelos’s adopted son Adam a combined $300,000 for low- or no-show jobs in exchange for passing legislation favorable to their businesses.
