Earlier today, we heard that the Patrolman's Benevolent Association (PBA) had hired an all-star team of lawyers, including one who starred as himself in the movie Goodfellas, in anticipation of the possibility that the union might potentially become embroiled in a RICO case in the massive ticket-fixing scandal. And this afternoon, the dominoes started to fall when the first senior Bronx cop pled guilty to fixing tickets.
Officer Gregory Manning, the former financial secretary for the PBA, was docked 40 days vacation, given a 5-day suspension and slapped with a $500 fine for his role in the scandal. According to the News, Manning testified (under immunity) at least three times before a Bronx grand jury on reports of dozens of cops fixing tickets.
He avoided prosecution as a result, and only faced disciplinary charges, as do possibly 400 other cops around the five boroughs. Manning was a 23-year veteran who lost his reelection bid as financial secretary for the PBA last month, and instead filed his retirement papers.
