Former pol accused of helping flood Brooklyn streets with Oxy says he’s victim of political hit job
A former assemblyman charged with helping to run a $24 million Sheepshead Bay-based pill mill claims he’s the victim of an overzealous, press-hungry prosecutor.
Former Assemblymember Alec Brook-Krasny, who represented a district spanning Bay Ridge to Coney Island, is on trial with two others — physician assistant Marie Nazaire and nurse practitioner Marjorie Louis-Jaques — for their roles in a ring that allegedly sent more than 6.3 million pills pouring into Brooklyn streets.
The former lawmaker is charged with conspiracy, health care fraud and scheme to defraud the state. The trial entered its second week Tuesday.
