In this case it is hard to tell the difference. Feds: Dirty Cop Threatened To Order Sicario Hit on Fellow Officer’s Family
The criminal complaints lodged against the Columbus cops paint a lurid portrait of underworld lawlessness inside an elite police unit devoted to cracking the cartels. At one point, Kotchkoski allegedly warned Merino that if he ever blabbed about their illegal acts, he’d “have Merino’s wife and children killed by sicarios,” the hired hitmen of Latin American drug syndicates.
Because cops are above the law, or something. These guys seem to think so anyway.
And it is so good the see that our tax-payer dollars are paying for valuable training classes.
Merino planned to launder their proceeds by converting cash into Mexican AirBnB rental properties, an idea he got from classes offered by the US Drug Enforcement Agency, according to the filing.
Yeah, that is what they should be teaching.
A conviction for dealing more than 400 grams of fentanyl carries a minimum sentence of 10 years in federal prison. Merino’s bribery charge could tack on another 10 years behind bars. No future hearing is listed for Kotchkoski, who remains lodged in the Delaware County Jail.
We just had a story from the UK where a cop was actually held to a higher standard. I hope these guys are nailed to the wall. Crooked cops need to be made an example of, to stop others from being tempted.
