US EditionJudge dismisses ex-NYPD commissioner’s lawsuit alleging ‘systemic corruption’ in police department
Judge Denise Cote dismissed Donlon’s $10 million racketeering suit citing lack of evidence for common criminal purpose among NYPD leaders, though an appeal is planned.
- A federal judge dismissed the lawsuit alleging the NYPD operated as a `criminal enterprise`, citing lack of evidence for `a common purpose` among defendants.
- In July, Donlon filed the lawsuit after being appointed to stabilize the department, alleging `systemic corruption and criminal conduct` enabled by Adams and his allies.
- Donlon served as interim commissioner for about two months before Jessica Tisch, current NYPD commissioner, replaced him; his lawsuit was one of several filed by veteran police officials alleging corruption under Adams.
- A City Law Department spokesperson said they were `pleased the court agreed there was no legal basis for this case to continue` after Donlon's appeal, which has already been filed, was not detailed in the response.
- Amid related investigations, federal prosecutors recently brought multiple bribery cases against former police officials who served under Adams.
