Former 68th Precinct cop Joseph Trischitta sentenced
From the United States Attorney’s Office:
Preet Bharara, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced that Joseph Trischitta, a former New York City Police Department Officer, was sentenced today to 40 months in prison for engaging in a scheme involving the illegal interstate transport of firearms and stolen goods. Trischitta was sentenced in Manhattan federal court by U.S. District Judge William H. Pauley III.
Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said: Joseph Trischittas sentencing today is the latest reminder of the consequences of public corruption. It does a disservice to the overwhelming majority of public servants who conduct themselves so honorably and to the people they serve.
