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.
