Jury selection starts today in Seabrook trial

JURY SELECTION in the bribery case against former correction union boss Norman Seabrook is set to begin Monday.

Seabrook (photo inset), 57, is accused of pocketing a $60,000 bribe in exchange for pushing $20 million in union pension money to Platinum Partners, a now-defunct hedge fund run by Murray Huberfeld, who will also be on trial.

The Manhattan Federal Court case against Seabrook and Huberfeld, 57, will involve more than cut-and-dried accusations of a kickback scheme between the former Correction Officers’ Benevolent Association president and an allegedly fishy financier.

A key part of the prosecutors’ case will hinge on testimony from Jona Rechnitz — the big-time Mayor de Blasio donor who secretly copped a plea to doling out campaign contributions for favors. Rechnitz allegedly delivered the money to Seabrook in an $820 Ferragamo bag.

Defense lawyers for Seabrook and Huberfeld will try to discredit the alleged bagman, who has also been accused of hiding the extent of his dirty dealings from the feds.
