NYPD chiefs accused of steering funds to restaurant of ex-police commissioner’s brother: whistleblower

A whistleblower is accusing police brass of steering NYPD funds to a Bronx restaurant owned by the brother of former Police Commissioner Edward Caban, according to a complaint filed with the city Department of Investigation.

Deputy Chiefs Maximo Tolentino and Victoria Perry directed the funds be used for community parties at Con Sofrito, which is owned by Richard Caban, a retired NYPD lieutenant, the complaint states.

The bosses, who were both at the Community Affairs Bureau, allegedly told the cops under their command to “focus on doing events at Con Sofrito and use all resources available ‘to make the big boss happy,’” the complaint states, referring to then-Commissioner Caban.
