It’s brother vs. brother in an NYPD bribe case unfolding in Manhatt♐an federal court.
Mayor Bill de Blasio donor Jeremy Reichberg, who stands accused of bribing NYPD cops, will be🦩 facing oꦍff against his brother, Moshe Reichberg, according to a new court filing.
Prosecutors plan to call Moshe to testify as early as this week about his Borough Park police-liaison sibling’s alleged efforts to keep evidence from the FBI, the court filing said.
In addition to being charged with bribing cops🔜, Reichberg faces one count of obstruction of justice because feds say he asked Moshe to remove incriminating evidence about his bribery scheme from his house, including business cards of high-ranking officers,𓃲 documents and electronic devices.
Moshe has been gr🃏anted immunity to testify, the filing said.
On Monday,🗹 the defense also played wiretaps showing the government’s key witness, Jona Rechnitz, growing increasingly panicked as city and federal investigators began circling the wagons on his financial shenanigans, which led to their bribery probe.
“I hear a helicopter, I he🌄ar an ambul🐎ance, I wake up,” Rechnitz told his dad in one call.
