District Attorney Bragg said: “New Yorkers trust that when they purchase insurance, whether to safeguard their home or operate on an airport tarmac, they are paying for protection in times of crisis. As alleged, these defendants flagrantly lied and issued worthless insurance policies from their off-shore company while pocketing thousands in premiums and fees. I thank our partners at Port Authority’s Office of the Inspector General for their partnership in rooting out fraud and protecting New Yorkers.”

“As someone who grew up in Harlem myself, I know firsthand the importance of keeping young people engaged and busy during the summer months.

Prevention initiatives are one key way we’re doing that, alongside focused prosecutions in areas of concentrated violence and traditional law enforcement methods. I urge organizations big and small to team up and apply for this funding.”
