.thereidout Blog: Ed Mullins, the former head of New York's powerful union for police sergeants, is accused of defrauding the group out of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Ed Mullins, former president of the Sergeants Benevolent Association, was charged with wire fraud on Wednesday.According to the Justice Department, from roughly 2017 to around October 2021, Mullins used union funds to reimburse himself more than $1 million,
the majority of which was fraudulently obtained. He allegedly filed phony expense reports to pay for charges he made on his personal credit card that included expensive dinners, home appliances, jewelry and a relative's college tuition. The Justice Department alleged that last April, Mullins changed a $45.92 charge to an $845.92 charge at a wine bar in New Jersey; that he changed a $609.89 charge to a $909.89 charge at a steakhouse; and that he changed a $185.88 charge at a Long Island supermarket to make it look like a $685.88 charge at an Italian restaurant in Manhattan.
