New York Real Estate Executive With ‘Access to Politicians’ Is at Center of Scandals

By CHARLES V. BAGLI

Charles C. Dorego, general counsel for Glenwood Management, figures prominently in federal criminal complaints against Sheldon Silver and Dean G. Skelos that involve payoffs, graft, fraud and solicitation of bribes.

"In exchange for a non-prosecution agreement, Mr. Dorego in April began cooperating with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and prosecutors in the office of the United States attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York.

Mr. Dorego, whose lawyer did not return calls, has not been charged with any wrongdoing. He is not identified by name in the criminal complaints, but is referred to as CW-1, or cooperating witness, in the complaint against Mr. Skelos and his son, and as “a representative of Developer-1” — which is Glenwood — in the charges against Mr. Silver."
