Lt. Angelique Olaechea testified in Manhattan Federal Court that the officer then in charge of the 9th Precinct in the East Village, Captain Vincent Greany, and his second-in command, Lt. Daniel Brown transferred her to Brooklyn, because of departmental charges and spread rumors that she was having an affair with another cop to punish her for testifying against them at an NYPD departmental trial.
John Scola obtained a $872,000 jury verdict for his client Lt. Angelique Olaechea.
Scola stated “ “We are happy with the verdict and applaud the jury’s clear message to the NYPD that unlawful retaliation will not be tolerated.”
