The U.S. attorney’s office announced the indictment of several high-ranking members of the NYPD, a donor to Mayor Bill de Blasio and the former head of the city’s correction officers union.
Norman Seabrook is charged with wire fraud after allegedly investing his union’s money in a private investment fund in exchange for a kickback.
Murray Huberfeld, the founder of that fund, was also indicted.
On top of that, NYPD Deputy Chief Michael Harrington and Deputy Inspector James Grant were charged with wire fraud and receiving bribes from de Blasio donor Jeremy Reichberg.
The two allegedly received gifts in exchange for favorable treatment from the department.
Reichberg also faces charges of wire fraud and bribery.
The indictments are part of a wide-ranging probe by U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara into corruption at One Police Plaza.
The investigation is also examining the mayor’s campaign activities.
