police corruption https://www.courthousenews.com/ex-nypd-commissioner-sues-nyc-mayor-top-brass-for-corruption/ In a civil Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) complaint filed Wednesday in Manhattan, former NYPD chief Thomas Donlon accuses department leaders of racketeering, including wire fraud, mail fraud and obstruction of justice for personal and political gain. “This enterprise—the NYPD—was criminal at its core,” Donlon alleges in his seven-count complaint. “The defendants engaged in a coordinated pattern of racketeering activity that was deliberate, sustained, and directed from the highest levels of the NYPD and City Hall.” He also alleges senior NYPD officials enriched themselves and associates through unearned raises, padded pensions, promotions and manipulated overtime. “The defendants leveraged governmental authority and infrastructure to commit crimes, cover up misconduct, and retaliate against internal dissenters,” the erstwhile commissioner wrote in the complaint. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
