D.A. Bragg Announces Indictments In Sprawling Investigation That Charges City Employees In Ghost Gun And Fraud Conspiracies
“As alleged, the takedown of a sophisticated ghost gun manufacturing operation uncovered wide-ranging schemes, including the link to a massive fraud and a planned burglary,” said District Attorney Bragg. “These alleged schemes were orchestrated and largely operated by city employees, many of whom abused their positions of public trust for personal gain. We see a clear link between those engaging in violent crimes and traditional white-collar fraud at the same time. My Office will continue leveraging the expertise and tools available at our disposal to dismantle these types of interconnected schemes, no matter how complex they are. I thank all of our prosecutors, analysts and investigators for their hard work and diligence in following the facts and uncovering this series of criminal activity.”
