Reichberg
Convicted Of
Bribing For
Private Police
As UN Corruption
Cover Up
Continues

FEDERAL
COURTHOUSE, January 2 – Less
than a month after a jury
rendered seven UN
bribery guilty verdicts
against Patrick Ho of China
Energy Fund Committee, now on
January 2 Manhattan U.S.
Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman
said: “As a unanimous
jury found, Jeremy Reichberg
orchestrated a years-long
bribery scheme that led to
tens of thousands of dollars
in benefits being provided to
a select group of NYPD
officers to provide Reichberg
with a private, paid police
force.
"These illegal
acts clearly undermine the
mission of the NYPD and leave
the citizens of New York City
poorer, and Reichberg’s
subsequent attempt to hide
evidence of his scheme from
law enforcement cannot be
tolerated. We respect
the jury’s verdict as to James
Grant, and we thank the jurors
for their service during this
lengthy trial. Our
Office will continue to work
with the NYPD and the FBI to
prevent corruption.” In other
ongoing SDNY news, Michael
Cohen received a three year
sentence on December 12,
surrounded by a sea of
cameras, tripods and a
liv-streamer. See Inner City
