New York (US):
Rogue FBI top gun Lindley DeVecchio allegedly raked in hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes from a murderous Mafia chieftain in exchange for selling him federal secrets and helping participate in at least four gangland assassinations, The Post has learned.
Exposing one of the worst corruption scandals in U.S. history, investigators from the office of Brooklyn DA Charles Hynes have unearthed a mountain of shocking new evidence - including witnesses from both sides of the law - unmasking DeVecchio's unholy alliance with fearsome Colombo crime family acting boss Gregory Scarpa Sr., who was known inside the Mafia as "The Grim Reaper."

DeVecchio turned himself in to prosecutors in Brooklyn last night. An indictment against him is expected to be unsealed as early as today.
DeVecchio's lawyer, Douglas Grover, would not comment on the case. "We'll save it for the courtroom," he said. For more than a decade, DeVecchio - a supervisory special agent in charge of the Colombo family squad - allegedly served as a mole, enabling Scarpa's brutal empire to eliminate government informants in their ranks, competitors trying to poach their territory and anyone who was a possible threat to his faction during the infamous Colombo wars.
