Federal authorities also said Thursday that a second, unidentified assemblyman is charged in a sealed indictment and has cooperated in the corruption probe. Assemblyman Eric Stevenson of the Bronx faces bribery, conspiracy and other charges. Prosecutors say Stevenson took bribes in exchange for drafting, proposing and agreeing to enact legislation to aid his co-defendants' businesses.

Several other politicians also were charged in that case.
