Former NYPD head accuses Mayor Adams, police brass of 'criminal enterprise'
Briefly

Tom Donlon filed a civil racketeering lawsuit against the city, Mayor Eric Adams, and senior NYPD officials, alleging a criminal enterprise within the city government. The lawsuit claims that city officials falsely arrested Donlon's wife and leaked information about the arrest to the media. Allegations include spying on personal communications and obstructing investigations into misconduct. The suit charges the officials with crimes like wire fraud and obstruction of justice, seeking unspecified damages. City Hall denied the claims, calling them baseless accusations from a former employee who proved ineffective in his role.
"This lawsuit is not a personal grievance; it is a statement against a corrupt system that betrays the public, silences truth, and punishes integrity."
"These are baseless accusations from a disgruntled former employee who - when given the opportunity to lead the greatest police department in the world - proved himself to be ineffective."
