A whistleblower has alleged that NYPD Deputy Chiefs Maximo Tolentino and Victoria Perry misused city funds for events at a Bronx restaurant owned by Richard Caban, brother of former Police Commissioner Edward Caban.
According to the complaint, Tolentino and Perry instructed officers to utilize department resources for community events at Con Sofrito, specifically to 'make the big boss happy', indicating a direct favoring of former Commissioner Caban.
The events, which occurred in late 2022 to early 2023, incurred costs ranging from $5,000 to $8,000 each, raising concerns about the improper allocation of NYPD resources.
Federal investigators are also looking into the allegations, with sources noting that Perry's recent promotion and pay increase have drawn scrutiny amid the ongoing investigation.
