Former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik has been indicted on federal corruption charges including bribery and tax fraud. If convicted on all 16 counts, he could face 142 years in prison and be charged with almost $5 million in fines. Kerik’s indictment could present a complication in Rudolph Giuliani’s run for the White House. As mayor of New York, Giuliani elevated Kerik to correction commissioner and then police commissioner. Later Giuliani made Kerik a partner in his security business and urged President Bush to nominate Kerik to head the Department of Homeland Security.
