Three NYPD officers and a prominent fund-raiser for Mayor de Blasio were busted Monday morning as part of the ongoing corruption investigation for taking bribes in exchange for doing favors for politically connected businessmen.
Deputy Chief Michael Harrington, Deputy Inspector James Grant, and Sgt. David Villanueva were arrested, law enforcement sources confirmed.
Police Officer Richard Ochetal pleaded guilty before he was indicted.
Jeremy Reichberg, a Brooklyn-based businessman and prominent fund-raiser for Mayor de Blasio, was also arrested, in a case built with wiretaps, sources said.
Grant and Harrington accepted “substantial bribes” from Reichberg, including hookers, flights, hotels rooms, jewelry, business cards, and pricey meals, according to the criminal complaint filed in federal court in Manhattan.
