Kruger’s briber is blabbing

A longtime lobbyist who pleaded guilty to bribing crooked ex-pol Carl Kruger has been spilling his guts about “numerous other persons” under investigation by the feds, court papers revealed yesterday.

Richard Lipsky “provided substantial assistance” related to “ongoing . . . investigations” in a bid for leniency, the Manhattan federal court filing said.

Prosecutor Glen McGorty didn’t identify any targets, but a political insider said the revelation would send tremors through City Hall and Albany, adding, “anyone who’s ever had any dealings with him is going to be nervous.”

Lipsky was busted by the FBI last year as part of what prosecutors called an “extensive investigation” into public corruption.

Days before his arrest, agents found more than $100,000 stashed in a safe in his apartment, and another $4,000 in “crisp, large denominational bills” stuffed into a suit jacket. During the raid, he spoke on the phone to an unidentified “political operative” to spread the word that the feds had closed in, according to the papers.

He admitted passing up to $200,000 in bribes to Kruger, a powerful Democratic Brooklyn state senator now serving seven years behind bars. Lipsky pleaded guilty and agreed to serve a term of at least four-plus years.

He was linked to the so-called “Four Amigos” of the state Senate who revolted against the Democratic leadership and handed control to the Republicans in 2009.

Three of them — Kruger, Pedro Espada and Hiram Monserrate — have since been convicted on various corruption charges.

The fourth, state Sen. Ruben Diaz of The Bronx, got a $5,000 campaign contribution from Lipsky in 2009, records show.

In 2010, Lipsky also gave $3,800 to embattled Brooklyn Democratic Assemblyman Vito Lopez.
