Police Union Hires “Goodfellas” Lawyer As Ticket-Fixing Scandal Threatens To Go RICO
The city’s largest police union, which has become tangled in with the massive ticket-fixing scheme, has drafted an all-star team of lawyers, including one who starred as himself in the movie Goodfellas, in anticipation of the very real possibility that the union itself could be indicted along with some of its members. And as the union scrambles to deal with potentially being embroiled in a RICO case, another cop’s involvement with the scandal may sink an open-and-shut DWI case.
According to DNAInfo, in addition to their on-call staff of lawyers, the Patrolman’s Benevolent Association (PBA) has hired Edward McDonald, the former head of the Brooklyn U.S. Attorney’s Organized Crime Strike Force who starred as himself in Goodfellas; Thomas Fitzgerald, the former head of the Criminal Division in the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s office; and Steven Kartegener, a top criminal defense attorney who once served as head of the Bronx District Attorney’s Appeals Bureau.
