WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) -- Federal prosecutors say Bernard Kerik's complaint about being charged with old offenses simply shows the length of what they call his "crime spree.''
Prosecutors said in court papers filed Friday that the fact that charges range from 1998 to 2006 testifies to "the longevity of the defendant's criminality.''
The government is opposing the former New York City police commissioner's effort to have some tax and corruption charges dismissed. He cites statutes of limitation.
Prosecutors say Kerik agreed three times to extend the time limits.
Kerik is accused of accepting free apartment renovations, lying to the White House and filing false income tax returns. He has pleaded not guilty.
