US EditionProsecutors suddenly drop case against Miami attorney accused of bribing DEA agents
Charges against Miami attorney David Macey were dropped due to lack of evidence of intent or quid pro quo despite $73,000 in payments to former DEA agents, prosecutors said.
- Prosecutors dropped criminal charges against Miami attorney David Macey on August 28, 2025, in Manhattan federal court.
- The charges arose from a multi-year DEA corruption probe involving bribery and leaked confidential information from two former DEA agents.
- Macey was accused of giving cash and gifts worth $73,000, including baseball tickets and condo down payment, allegedly for sensitive tips about federal indictments.
- Macey said, "I'm elated" and expressed gratitude through his attorney Shawn Crowley that "justice would not be served" by continuing prosecution.
- The deferred prosecution agreement will dismiss charges in one year if Macey complies with the law, reflecting a rare resolution partly credited to his experienced legal team.
