The verdict put an end to a nearly decade-long legal battle, according to the report. Bruno was a former Westchester business consultant. 

“This system, it works; sometimes it’s slow but it works,” said Bruno, according to the report.  

Bruno "was one of the three most powerful politicians in the state until his resignation from the Senate in 2008 amid a gathering federal investigation that involved accusations of no-show jobs, a businessman seeking legislative help, and a large payment to Mr. Bruno for a horse of questionable value," according to the report.
