Convicted Bill de Blasio donor Jona Rechnitz will pay the Correction Officers’ Benevolent Association $1.2 million, according to newly filed court papers.
Rechnitz made the pledge to atone for his role in a scheme that steered COBA retirement money to hedge-fund Platinum Partners, which later collapsed and lost the union $19 million.
The fund-raiser convict delivered a $60,000 bribe to ex-union head Norman Seabrook, who then invested the whopping sum in the ill-fated fund.
Both Seabrook and the fund’s founder, Murray Huberfeld, were convicted after Rechnitz flipped and started working with feds.
Rechnitz’s Friday filing said he’d already shelled out $240,000 to COBA, and would pay the rest of the sum in installments.
The City Hall donor testified at three corruption trials, claiming he showered de Blasio with donations in exchange for political access and bribed high-ranking NYPD officials to speed up gun licenses for his cronies.
While Rechnitz has claimed his snitching turned him into a pariah, recent footage obtained by The Post showed him hobnobbing with Kim Kardashian and other celebs in Los Angeles.
