QNS. POL EXTORTED CHARITY: FEDS

Embattled Assemblyman Anthony Seminerio shook down a Queens-based charity to hire his sham consulting business but demanded only $700 a month because he didn’t want to look like a “gavone,” or pig, a new federal indictment charges.

Seminerio, 74, allegedly threatened to “kill” any legislation favoring the unidentified nonprofit and “bury” its president after his initial come-ons were refused in 1999.

The state-funded group later knuckled under and paid off the veteran Queens Democrat for two years, according to the Manhattan federal court filing, which accuses him of raking in $1 million in kickbacks since 1999.

Other new allegations unveiled yesterday include the attempted extortion of a Queens-based consulting company and a hospital that was bought by private investors in 2004.

Neither of those alleged targets were named, but sources identified the hospital as Parkway Hospital in Forest Hills, which was ordered shut by the state last year.

Seminerio didn’t return a call to his Albany office, and defense lawyer Pery Krinksy declined to comment.
