Uribe is a New Jersey businessman in the trucking and insurance business who was friends with fellow defendant Wael Hana, according to an indictment. Hana and Uribe allegedly got Nadine Menendez a Mercedes convertible after the senator called a government official about another case involving an associate of Uribe, according to the indictment.
He also admitted the car was given as part of an effort to halt a different investigation"into another person who I considered to be a member of my family." Uribe said he tried to hide the payments he made on the luxury vehicle"because I knew it was wrong. I knew that giving a car in return for influencing a United States Senator to stop a criminal investigation was wrong, and I deeply regret my actions.
He said he later told his attorneys the same version of what happened and they transmitted that “false story” to prosecutors with his approval. In late 2022, Uribe said he got a check from Nadine Menendez paying him back for the car payments, which he deposited. Menendez also has been charged with using his international clout to help a friend get a multimillion-dollar deal with a Qatari investment fund, including by taking actions favorable to Qatar's government.
