An Albany lobbyist testified Friday that he set up a shady meeting between former Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and a real-estate executive that prosecutors say was part of a quid pro quo that netted the lawmaker $700,000 in illegal kickbacks.

Brian Meara took the stand in Silver’s corruption trial at Manhattan federal court to reveal he organized the June 2011 meeting between the lawmaker and a Glenwood Management executive, with the executive presenting the company’s proposal for new rent-regulation laws.

“Do you remember Mr. Silver’s reaction?” prosecutor Howard Master said.

“He didn’t say yes; he didn’t say no. He probably said, ‘I hear you,’ and that was typical,” Meara replied.

“How satisfied was Glenwood with the legislative package that was offered?” Master asked.

“They were satisfied,” Meara said.

Silver is accused of using his position to push legislation that would benefit Glenwood in exchange for the company sending tax work to a law firm that paid him big kickbacks.

Prosecutors also showed jurors a document illustrating how an earlier draft of the legislation would have harmed Glenwood by letting tax abatements expire and allowing the city to adopt stronger rent regulations.

The legislation that was adopted in July with Silver’s support extended the abatements and barred the city from enacting stricter rent regulations.

In later testimony, the Glenwood exec, Richard Runes, was asked why Jay Arthur Goldberg of Goldberg & Iryami, the law firm that paid Silver for referrals, represented so many of Glenwood’s buildings.

“He was recommended through Brian Meara by Speaker Silver to [Glenwood chief] Leonard Litwin,” Runes said.

Meara earlier said Silver called him around Christmas 2011 to say he was pocketing some of the fees Glenwood paid Goldberg.

“I was surprised and concerned,” Meara testified.

Prosecutors have said they expect to finish their case next week.
