NYPD Lieutenant Joseph Abdelmessih has been accused of avoiding approximately $20,000 in tolls and congestion pricing by utilizing a city-owned car after driving his personal Mercedes Benz to a Staten Island outpost. According to a complaint, he signed in at a different location before commuting to his real office in Manhattan, all while on the clock. His superior allegedly was aware of his misconduct but did not take any action. This situation raises concerns about potential widespread misconduct among department members and calls for an audit.
"The lieutenant was able to successfully defraud the city from thousands of dollars in a scheme to avoid the lawful payment of tolls, congestion pricing, gas, mileage and his paid work time."
"His corrupt actions are alarming and merit a department-wide internal audit as to how many other members are engaging in similar conduct."
