HAUPPAUGE, N.Y. -- It's one of the country's largest and most powerful law enforcement offices, but the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office on Thursday was called a "criminal organization" by the man who ultimately has oversight over it, as he called for the district attorney to resign.
The call comes on the heels of a new investigation that concluded that District Attorney Tom Spota oversaw, for years, a process of his investigators interrogating and intimidating suspected criminals, including political corruption suspects, but not prosecuting them, in exchange for cooperation, loyalty and silence.
It was apparent blackmail that may have allowed serious criminals, including drug dealers known to distribute to high school students, to avoid prosecution.
Those allegations, first reported by Newsday, are consistent with claims made by prosecutors in open court against the former head of investigations for the district attorney's office, James Burke.
If that name rings a bell, it may be because Burke -- who eventually went on to become Suffolk County Police Chief -- is now awaiting sentencing on federal charges that he tortured a prisoner and then tried to cover it up. But Burke's case showed that for years, Burke would have detectives carry out illegal monitoring activities on perceived enemies of the D.A., including wiretapping, placing tracking devices on cars and physically following suspected foes of Spota.
