Eric Goldstein — the former head of the DOE’s Office of School Support Services — is accused of taking bribes from the owners Somma Foods to turn a blind eye to the gross grub.
Plastic, bones and metal were found in chicken tenders served to New York City public school students — jurors heard this week at the bribery trial of a former top Department of Education official.
The owners gave Goldstein seed money to start his own meat-supply business — and in exchange, Goldstein “would make sure that DOE bought Somma products like chicken,” Grubin said. But the company struggled to meet the sudden demand for millions of dollars worth of food “to the largest school district in the country,” Grubin alleged.LinkedIn
But trio of meat purveyors “were desperate” as Somma was “hanging on by a thread” and allegedly upped their bribes to Goldstein by giving total ownership of their side company, Range Meats, to him, as well as another $66,000, Grubin said.City schools,” Grubin told jurors.The men are charged with conspiracy to commit extortion and bribery, while Goldstein is also charged with extortion.
