FBI raids NYPD sergeants union Manhattan headquarters
“Federal investigators descended Tuesday on the Lower Manhattan headquarters of the NYPD’s Sergeants Benevolent Association, the union headed by fiery and controversial president Ed Mullins.
While the details of the probe remained under wraps, an FBI spokeswoman confirmed to The News that the agency was “carrying out a law enforcement action in connection with an ongoing investigation” into the SBA.”
Mullins, who is fiery and often takes extreme positions to defend his members, is also currently in trouble with the police department.
He is facing a departmental disciplinary trial for releasing information on social media about Mayor Bill de Blasio’s daughter’s arrest during a Black Lives Matter protest.He has also used foul language to describe the former city health commissioner, Dr. Oxiris Barbot and Bronx Congressman Ritchie Torres.
His police departmental trial will resume later this month.
Regarding the FBI investigation, this is the first time agents showed up to the union’s headquarters for this probe.
