An affidavit filed today by State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo says a nine-month probe into a Bronx clinic founded by Espada shows apparent violations of New York's not-for-profit corporation law.

The violations cited in the affidavit include sharing money with a for-profit corporation and using funds from the clinic for Espada's personal benefit.

Cuomo has already subpoenaed the Soundview Health Care Network to release financial records.

The affidavit filed today is an effort to bring about a court order to force the clinic to actually answer the subpoena.

Espada has long denied any guilt and maintained that the clinic is a vital health care resource in an underserved community.

“This is nothing new, just an angry, frustrated response by Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, whom we have already provided with tens of thousands of documents he has requested, and will continue to do so," Espada said in a statement released today. "This is an Andrew Cuomo witch-hunt driven by his political ambitions, as evidenced in the fact that our attorneys had to learn of this complaint through the media. . . [he's now] using me, the state’s highest- ranking Hispanic elected official, as his personal political piñata."
