Detectives William Seidman and Anthony Vidot of the NYPD have initiated a lawsuit against the department, claiming they faced retaliation when investigating corruption involving high-ranking officials. Assigned to the Department of Investigation in 2021, they uncovered troubling allegations against NYPD and city officials, asserting that clubs were bribing officers for leniency on violations. Their probe revealed connections to influential figures, including former Police Commissioner Edward Caban's brother, as they approached their superiors about potentially explosive findings, only to experience bullying and harassment from within their department.
Detective William Seidman, 42, and his partner, Detective Anthony Vidot, 57, have filed a lawsuit claiming retaliation after probing corruption within the NYPD.
We had the case in its infancy... One of the first names that popped for us was James Caban, the twin brother of then-Police Commissioner Edward Caban.
When this comes out... you're going to have worlds collapsing. It's going to take the police department down.
