Cop indicted in Brooklyn Federal Court for cocaine trafficking
An NYPD officer assigned to the 113th Precinct in Southeast Queens was arrested Monday for allegedly assisting an international drug trafficking operation that distributed cocaine throughout New York City
Officer Amaury Abreu, 34, was indicted in Brooklyn Federal Court along with three co-defendants for allegedly importing cocaine from Mexico and the Dominican Republic and dispensing it across the five boroughs. He was scheduled for arraignment Monday afternoon.
Federal prosecutors say Abreu described NYPD procedures to the other members of the operation, ran warrant checks for them and even sold cocaine on at least one occasion.
