...charges are expected to be filed soon, and stem from a secret meeting in a bar in TriBeCa in 1999, in which the former commissioner allegedly accepted free renovations to one of his properties in exchange for a supposed police clearing of a firm with alleged mob ties.
This new revelation may prove to be an embarrassment to the Rudy Giuliani presidential campaign, since the former New York City mayor named Kerik as his right-hand man and recommended him for the top post at the Department of Homeland Security in 2004. A week after his nomination by president George W. Bush, Kerik's name was withdrawn when he confessed to hiring a nanny without a permit to work in the United States...

THE WISEGUY...All due respect...
"...Kerik accepted more than $200,000 in renovations to a Bronx apartment he once owned, but paid the firms only $17,800 for the work, according to a complaint seeking revocation of the companies' licenses to work in state casinos.
The balance was picked up by Interstate Industrial Corp., one of two sister firms owned by brothers Frank and Peter DiTommaso and controlled by the Gambino crime family, according to the three-count complaint, filed Tuesday by the state Division of Gaming Enforcement."

Judith Regan and the Affair From Hell
"...Judith Regan, the President of HarperCollins' ReganBooks, is the driving force behind a multitude of bestsellers from personalities such as Howard Stern, Wally Lamb, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Michael Moore. But even the most savvy businesswoman in the world can have lousy taste in men. This week, the entire world learned this week of her affair with America's former top cop Bernard Kerik. Kerik, who was married at the time, apparently carried on an extramarital affair with Ms. Regan and some other poor woman at the same time.

Cop, political campaigner, husband, father, employer of illegal aliens, instigator of shady business deals, philanderer -- one wonders when Kerik found time to write..."

"...Judith Regan, the publisher of Regan Books, said yesterday. “You never know who's cheating on you."
An apartment in Battery Park City that former Police Commissioner Bernard B. Kerik secured for his personal use after Sept. 11 was originally donated for the use of weary police and rescue workers who were helping at ground zero, according to a real estate executive who has been briefed about the apartment.
After the cleanup had settled into a routine that fall, the executive said, Mr. Kerik, who was still police commissioner, asked to rent the two-bedroom apartment for his own use. During his use of the apartment, Mr. Kerik and Judith Regan engaged in an extramarital affair there, according to someone who spoke to Mr. Kerik about the relationship. Ms. Regan published his best-selling autobiography in 2001..."

The Lost Son
A Life in Pursuit of Justice
By Bernard B. Kerik
'"...But September 11 was only the most visible in a series of extraordinary challenges Kerik has faced. From the tough streets of a New Jersey town to Colombia's cocaine fields, from Rikers Island to New York City, Kerik has dedicated his life to fighting injustice -- as a jail warden, beat cop, decorated undercover narcotics detective, and commissioner of the largest municipal police force in the world. But his most personal battle came when he pursued the greatest unsolved case of his life -- the tragic mystery of his mother, who abandoned him more than forty years ago. This is his astonishing, touching, and ultimately inspiring story..."
