Officials Say Kerik Faces a Second Investigation

[Rose Siding]

Former Police Commissioner Bernard B. Kerik is under federal investigation for possible financial improprieties unrelated to the crimes he pleaded guilty to last month in state court, two law enforcement officials said yesterday.

The federal investigation began about a year ago and has focused on a foundation affiliated with the city’s Department of Correction during Mr. Kerik’s tenure as its commissioner, from 1998 to 2000, according to one of the officials, both of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity. Mr. Kerik later served as police commissioner from August 2000 to December 2001.
...
Word of the investigation came just five weeks after Mr. Kerik stood outside a Bronx courthouse, minutes after pleading guilty in the state case, and said, “Today it’s over.”

The investigation is the latest blow for a man whose stunning rise from detective to the city’s highest-ranking law enforcement official nearly took him to the White House, when President Bush nominated him to serve as Homeland Security secretary in December 2004.
