After a year in which he investigated white-collar and financial crimes, state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has a chance to make a political splash with the Martin Tankleff investigation, several political observers said yesterday.
Assigned by Gov. Eliot Spitzer to investigate the case of the former Belle Terre man who spent half his life in prison for the slaying of his parents before being released last month, Cuomo will have an opportunity to create an image of himself as tough on crime.
“If he finds that there are other people responsible, then it’s a tremendous public safety achievement,” said Assemb. Michael Gianaris (D-Astoria).
