Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.Ed Mullins, the former boss of a powerful NYPD police union, pleaded guilty on Thursday to stealing members’ money through bogus reimbursements.
Mullins, who sported a gray beard and wore blue suit with red pinstripes, admitted he “submitted false and inflated expense reports to the SBA for reimbursement.” He acknowledged he was “not entitled to” the money. In court filings, prosecutors detailed a brazen effort to collect fraudulent expenses from the union’s contingency fund, which was made up of dues paid by the SBA’s 13,000 members.
He was charged with wire fraud in February of last year, ending the career in which he was known for his brash – and frequently bigoted – criticism of those he deemed hostile to law enforcement.
