Honolulu Police Chief Louis Kealoha has received a target letter from the FBI, informing him that he is under investigation as part of an ongoing public corruption case.
The chief will go on restricted duty, Hawaii News Now reports.
The FBI also sent target letters to several other officers in the department.
The letters follow a guilty plea by former police officer Niall Silva, who admitted to lying under oath about a conspiracy to frame a relative of the police chief’s wife.
His wife, a high-ranking deputy city prosecutor, is accused of lying about her uncle stealing a mailbox.
