A Brooklyn businessman who is a target in the widening federal investigation of the NYPD also served as a chaplain for the Westchester County police, the New York Daily News reports.
But the discovery that he was at the center of the investigation prompted the police department to suspend Jeremy Reichberg from his nonpaying chaplain job.
Reichberg, 42, is suspected of giving gifts to city cops in exchange for a host of favors.
Just three months after county Executive Rob Astorino received a $25,000 donation from Reichberg’s friend, Jona Rechnitz, he received the chaplain job.
“There’s no connection at all,” Astorino spokesman William O’Reilly told The Journal News.
