Bharara comes to NYU Law at the conclusion of his tenure as United States attorney for the Southern District of New York, one of the longest for anyone holding that position. As US attorney, Bharara brought a number of public corruption prosecutions against politicians working at the city and state levels, notably the speaker of the New York State Assembly Sheldon Silver and State Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos. He also oversaw many prosecutions of financial crimes, including numerous insider trading charges and the case against Bernie Madoff and his associates, as well as suits against Bank of America and Citibank growing out of the financial crisis. Under his leadership, the US attorney’s office secured a record-setting $1.2 billion financial penalty from Toyota in an agreement that installed an independent monitor to oversee the company’s public statements and safety reporting. In addition, the office during Bharara’s tenure extended its long history of successful national security prosecutions, addressing terrorism, international arms and drug trafficking, and evolving cybersecurity threats.
