One of the highest-ranking New York City police officials ever
indicted in a drug corruption case was fired yesterday, the
authorities said last night.
The official, Dennis M. Sindone, 40, was a deputy inspector when he
was arrested in May 2001 on a drug-related corruption charge, and
was demoted to captain. He was acquitted by a federal jury in March,
but still faced the possibility of departmental charges.
Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly dismissed Mr. Sindone based on
findings from a departmental judge, said Deputy Commissioner Michael
P. O'Looney, the department's chief spokesman.
Mr. Sindone was accused of conspiring with a fellow officer and a
drug dealer to steal $60,000 from a drug supplier in 1996. He was
charged with one count of violating the civil rights of the drug
supplier whose money was stolen.
