Retired US judge k!lls himself at home as FBI arrive to arrest him on corruption charges

A retired New York judge and former prosecutor allegedly sh9t himself to de@th Tuesday morning, September 24, in a shootout with FBI agents trying to bust him on bribery and corruption charges. Stewart Rosenwasser, who has been embroiled in a sordid federal bribery scandal, allegedly opened fire on the agents as they approached his Orange County home before his de@th by apparent suicide shortly after 9:30 am, law enforcement sources told The Post. The FBI said in a statement that the agency is reviewing the incident at the Campbell Hall home, noting that it is being investigated by the Inspection Division, as is typically the case in agent-involved shootings

The scandal, which saw the feds raid his home in July, forced him to resign from the DA’s Office.  The federal indictment, which names Rosenwasser and Mout’z Soudani, charges the two men with conspiracy to commit bribery, conspiracy to commit honest services wire fraud and honest services wire fraud, according to the Times-Union.

 FBI agents arriving at Rosenwasser’s home on Route 416 reported that he was barricaded and that shots were fired, and requested a SWAT team from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office. Rosenwasser was later found dead
