The NYC police commissioner's resignation comes amid a federal investigation. He and brother James Caban both had phones seized.
The development comes days after News 4 reported the Internal Revenue Service's Criminal Investigation division had joined the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York in the inquiry"My complete focus must be on the NYPD – the Department I profoundly honor and have dedicated my career to serving," his statement said in part."However, the noise around recent developments has made that impossible and has hindered the important work our city requires.
Earlier in the week, Adams declined to say whether Caban had been barred from communicating with federal law enforcement agencies, which work in close cooperation with the NYPD.Several sources tell NBC New York federal investigators want to know if James Caban profited from his ties to his powerful brother and the NYPD.
Other questions being investigated are if officers were asked to crack down harder on clubs that did not do business with the commissioner's brother or if promotions were given to officers who played along with the potential scheme, according to sources.In a joint statement Thursday, Caban's attorneys lauded his legacy as a public servant.
