Brooklyn DA Eric Gonzalez’ embattled aide Maritza Ming has not shown up at the office the entire week since The Post’s Sunday report on allegations that she bulli🎃ed underlings, belittled Jewish staffers, and misused the office for her b𒆙enefit, sources said.
DA spokesman Oren Yaniv said she has not been suspended. Ming, who makes $210,000 a year, continu🦩es to be paid and is not on vacation, said people close to the agenꦿcy.
“Since she is out of the office, she shouldn’t be paid with taxpayer do🅺llars to not work,” one complained.
Yaniv refused to comment on whether Ming is still receiving a paycheck. “Personnel issues are being handled ๊internally,” he said.
Meanwhile, Gonzalez met this week with about two dozen Jewish assistant district attorneys. The meeting came after he sent an office-wide memo announcing plans to have city investigators and outside experts probe allegations of anti-Semitism and revamp the office’s discrimination complaint process.&nbs♉p;
According to a law-enforcement source, Gonzalez told Jewish staff at the mee🧜ting he did not consider Ming an antisemite, and that she deserves 🎉“procedural justice.”
Gonzalez said Min😼g is “not overseeing anyone in the office anymore,” the insider said.
In describing her new role, Yaniv cited Ming’s June 9 promotion memo, which says she “ꦫwill devote the entirety of her exceptional talents and expe🐷rtise to implementing our office’s strategic and policy priorities” and continue to “advise and counsel” the DA and his executive team.
Insiders hope the announced probe does not focus solely on allegations of anti-Semitism. Complaints abo꧙ut Ming’s behavior come from staffers of various races and ethnicities.
They also want investigators to address her alleged failure to fully account for her work days and misu🌼se of staff and city cars for personal benefit.
When Ming supervised the ADAs they could not accrue more than 350 hours in payment owed for unused vacation days. But Ming has many hundreds♛ of hours on the books, worth tens of thousands of dollars when she leaves, an insider said. Yaniv would not comment on her timesheets or discuss any deficiencies.
