The FBI has launched a series of raids targeting several top New York City officials.
The FBI raided the homes of New York Police Department (NYPD) Commissioner Edward Caban and Police Chief Jeffrey Maddrey.
PIX 11 reported:
The FBI intercepted calls from NYPD Commissioner Edward Caban and other high-ranking department officials as part of an investigation into city corruption, according to law enforcement sources.
Federal officials took the device from Caban and two NYPD lieutenants who worked in the commissioner’s office and on the detail, sources said. Call from the lieutenant at 10Th The precinct was also seized.
The FBI also asked NYPD Chief of Staff Raul Pintos and two precinct commanders in Queens and Manhattan to turn in their phones, according to sources.
Sources say no officials have been questioned, but the NYPD has been asked to isolate emails from high-ranking executives.
“The department is aware of an investigation by the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York involving service members. The department is fully cooperating with the investigation,” an NYPD spokesperson said in a statement.
For readers of The Gateway Pundit, this should come as no surprise.
Last year, Joe Hoft reported that former NYPD officer Sal Greco claimed that incoming Police Commissioner Edward Caban was so enmeshed in corruption that he would resign if Mayor Eric Adams offered him the position.
Sal Greco worked for the NYPD for over a decade with an unblemished record. Then he befriends Roger Stone, and soon, his career as an NYPD cop ends.
On February 28, 2022, Roger Stone shared about New York City Police Officer Sal Greco:
Sal Greco is in Washington DC on January 5th and 6th. Like me, Sal Greco did not go to the Ellipse for President Trump’s speech, did not walk to the Capitol, and was not at the Capitol on January 6; in fact, he was in the hotel suite most of the time and we were surprised to find out that he illegally entered the Capitol. Any claim that either of us knew or played a role in the illegal events of January 6th is false and untrue.
This is not a problem for the NYPD. He brought Greco before the police court and used Greco’s relationship with Roger Stone as a reason to fire him. Greco is now suing the NYPD.
New York City’s current police commissioner – Keechant Sewell, resigned. Greco shared:
There is a lot of information I want to know about this… The New York Police Department is in upheaval..
… Eric Adams is the mayor. He is the defacto Commissioner of Police and all issues must be dealt with. If they do not run through him, they run through this person who is the Deputy Mayor of Public Safety, the position is made up. The man’s name is Philip Banks.
Banks have a record of alleged corruption. He is surrounded by other questionable actors, including the “Slumlord of the Bronx.”
Greco goes on to document several individuals and their broken histories. This is a guy who actually runs the police department, not Keechant Sewell.
There are rumors that Keechant may hire a lawyer to deal with his departure from the department. There are also rumors that he may go to Baltimore and take over the police department there.
Also, Greco talked about Edward Caban, who was also involved in corruption in the past. He is the First Deputy Commissioner of the NYPD.
The raid on Caban’s home came on the same day that the FBI targeted the homes of First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright and Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Phil Banks.
The Gateway Pundit reported:
Sources familiar with the investigation confirmed that federal agents targeted the home of Hamilton Heights First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright and her romantic partner, School Chancellor David Banks, as well as Hollis, Queens residence of Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Phil Banks.
David Banks and Phil Banks are brothers.
“Investigators​​​​ have not indicated that the mayor or his staff are the targets of the investigation,” the mayor’s chief of staff, Lisa Zornberg, said in a statement per ABC News.
“As a former member of law enforcement, the mayor has made it clear time and time again that all team members must abide by the law.”
Sources report that the FBI seized electronics and other evidence during the search, though no charges have been filed at this time.
