謊稱因“9·11”事件心理受創(chuàng) 紐約警察、消防員騙巨額補(bǔ)助

Though the former New York City police officers and firefighters were supposed to be fully disabled -- some suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder after the 9/11 terrorist attacks -- images in court documents released Tuesday painted a starkly different picture.

One man smiled behind shades and flipped the bird aboard a Sea-Doo personal watercraft. Another sat at the controls of a helicopter. A mixed martial arts instructor posed with arms crossed. They're seen riding motorcycles, hauling in massive sailfish, slugging softballs for the "NYPD Blues," taking jump shots, running half marathons and golfing, and even giving television news interviews while selling cannoli at Manhattan's famed San Genaro festival.

They are among the more than 100 retired New York City police and firefighters indicted in a massive Social Security disability scam involving hundreds of millions of dollars, authorities said. More than half the recipients received funds for fraudulent claims for PTSD in the wake of the September 11, 2001, terror attacks on the World Trade Center.

"We will chase down every penny that these dishonorable thieves fraudulently pilfered so that the truly heroic firefighters, police officers, medics, and civilians who actually risked their lives on September 11, 2001, and are now suffering because of it, can get the care that they critically need," said James T. Hayes, Jr., special agent-in-charge of Homeland Security Investigations New York.

The alleged scam spanned more than two decades, with law enforcement officers and firefighters coached on how to behave during doctor visits in order to qualify for full disability benefits, officials said.

"As a New Yorker, as a U.S. citizen, I can only express disgust at the actions of these individuals involved in this scheme, particularly the 72 former members of the New York City Police Department who have certainly disgraced themselves, embarrassed their families, with their abuse of this system," Police Commissioner William Bratton said at a news conference. "The idea that many of them chose the events of 9/11 to claim as the basis of the disability brings further dishonor to themselves."

The defendants received up to $50,000 a year because, they claimed, they were no longer able to work, officials said. Many of the claims allegedly involved work-related trauma caused by the 9/11 terror attacks. The 9/11-related claims alone totaled hundreds of thousands of dollars.

All the defendants pleaded not guilty Tuesday, according to the Manhattan district attorney's office.

The main defendants were identified as Raymond Lavallee, 83, a lawyer and former FBI agent and Nassau County prosecutor; Thomas Hale, 89, a disability consultant; John Minerva, 61, a union official for the Detectives' Endowment Association; and Joseph Esposito, 64, a retired police officer. Lavallee also was chief of the rackets bureau in the Nassau County District Attorney's office.

Lawyers for Lavallee, Hale and Esposito said the three men deny the charges. Minerva's lawyer could not be reached.

"It doesn't appear that anyone doubts that initially every single one of these 104 defendants was in fact disabled," said Esposito's lawyer, Brian Griffin. "It appears to be the extent of their disability that's in question."

Raymond Perini said his client, Lavallee, a Korean War vet who went to law school on the G.I. Bill, will regain his good name. "We're going to get that reputation back in court when he's found not guilty," he said.

Prosecutors said the men allegedly directed and coached hundreds of Social Security Disability Insurance applicants, including many retirees of the NYPD and FDNY, to lie about psychiatric conditions in order to obtain benefits.

The charges include grand larceny in the first and second degrees, and attempted grand larceny in the second degree. The remaining 102 defendants, all recipients of Social Security disability benefits, were charged with grand larceny in the second degree and attempted grand larceny in the second degree.

"It's a particularly cynical part of the ... scheme that approximately half of the defendants falsely claimed that their psychiatric disabilities were caused by their association with the terrorist attacks of September 11th," said District Attorney Cyrus Vance, Jr. "This fraud not only forced federal taxpayers to finance the lifestyles of New York scammers, it also took away, importantly, the already limited resources we have for people who actually suffered from psychiatric disabilities. That includes, of course, the brave first responders who ran toward the fires on September 11th, and who now suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety and other serious but very real psychiatric disabilities."

The average annual payment was between $30,000 to $50,000 for each recipient, prosecutors said. Of the defendants, 72 were also collecting pensions as retirees of the NYPD, eight from the New York City Fire Department, five from the New York Department of Correction and one from the Nassau County Police Department.

Prosecutors said the defendants were meticulously instructed on how to fail memory tests with plausibility, how to dress and how to behave. Nearly every application included identical descriptions of the activities of daily living: "I nap on and off during the day;" "I have the TV on to keep me company;" "I'm up and down all night long."

The leaders of the scheme allegedly collected one-time cash payments based on the monthly disability awards -- ranging from approximately $20,000 to $50,000, prosecutors said. In addition, Lavallee also received $6,000 directly from the government for attorney's fees for each applicant.

The applicants were instructed to withdraw cash from the bank in increments under $10,000 to avoid raising suspicion or require the filing of government currency reports, according to court papers.

Some of those charged went on to hold other jobs, including teaching martial arts, even though the full disability they received involved a diagnosis that they were so traumatized they were incapable of performing any kind of work, officials added.

In some instances, prosecutor said, the total amount fraudulently obtained was nearly $500,000 per applicant. The average Social Security Disability Insurance payment to date for the defendants, which included retroactive lump sum payments, was about $210,000.

"The applicants were coached to tell Social Security Administration they were unable to perform basic life skills, like cooking for themselves, grooming themselves, paying bills and socializing," Vance said.

"Many said they could no longer drive or be out of the house for more than a short walk around the house. The investigation revealed lifestyles that were very different ... One defendant who retired from the police department after an alleged neck injury, and later claimed psychiatric issues ... taught martial arts .. Another former police officer who claimed he could not go outside because he was too depressed and would have panic attacks, posted on Facebook this jetski photo. And ... another police officer claimed identical ailments, and an inability to socialize or leave the house, posted this photo from a fishing trip."

Vance said the indictment was "just the beginning" and that investigation "uncovered additional information which will be carefully reviewed over the upcoming months."

 

據(jù)美國媒體1月7日?qǐng)?bào)道,紐約市多名警察和消防員涉嫌謊稱因“9·11”恐怖襲擊而患上創(chuàng)傷后應(yīng)激障礙(PTSD),以騙取數(shù)億美元的政府補(bǔ)助。

***“無恥的小偷”

美國當(dāng)局稱,這些多半已經(jīng)退休的紐約市警察和消防員在他人協(xié)助下偽造相關(guān)文件,以“證明”其因參與“9·11”事件救援工作而患病,從而騙取政府補(bǔ)助。

法庭7日公布的照片顯示,涉案人員“因公致殘”后的生活并不悲慘,反倒輕松愜意:有人駕駛直升機(jī),有人跑馬拉松、打高爾夫,有人從事武術(shù)教學(xué),甚至還有人在節(jié)日盛宴上叫賣煎餅卷并且開心地接受電視臺(tái)采訪。

“我們將追回這些無恥的小偷騙取的每一分錢,讓那些曾經(jīng)以身犯險(xiǎn)如今為傷所困的、真正英勇的消防員、警察、醫(yī)護(hù)人員和普通民眾得到他們亟需的照料和幫助。”負(fù)責(zé)調(diào)查此案的美國國土安全部特工詹姆斯·海斯表示。

在新聞發(fā)布會(huì)上,紐約市警察局局長威廉·布拉頓厲聲譴責(zé)涉案人員:“作為紐約人、作為美國公民,我只能對(duì)這些人的所作所為感到惡心,尤其是其中的72名紐約市警察局前警員。他們?yōu)E用國家的社保體系,令自己丟臉、使家人受辱。他們甚至利用‘9·11’事件來實(shí)施詐騙,這更加令人不齒。”

***涉案人員獲“騙保指導(dǎo)”

此案的4名主要被告人分別為83歲的美國聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局前特工兼律師雷蒙德·拉瓦萊、89歲的傷殘保險(xiǎn)顧問托馬斯·黑爾、61歲的工會(huì)官員約翰·密涅瓦以及64歲的退休警察約瑟夫·埃斯波西托。

檢方稱,拉瓦萊等4人“指導(dǎo)并訓(xùn)練”102名次要被告人填寫社保殘障補(bǔ)助申請(qǐng)表,讓他們謊稱自己患上精神障礙以獲利。據(jù)悉,涉案次要被告人獲得“精心指導(dǎo)”,被告知如何“合理地”通不過記憶測(cè)試,如何穿衣打扮、如何待人接物騙過醫(yī)生。幾乎所有申請(qǐng)表上都寫有類似的、描述日常生活的語句,例如“白天我睡不踏實(shí)、夜晚心里害怕”,“我必須一直開著電視才感覺不那么孤單”。此外,他們還被要求在銀行取款時(shí)每次不超過1萬美元,以免惹人懷疑。

申請(qǐng)成功后,每個(gè)次要被告人可獲得每年2萬至5萬美元的殘障補(bǔ)助,72名紐約市警察還有退休金。而主要被告人的“服務(wù)”也不是免費(fèi)的,他們收取一次性的現(xiàn)金酬勞,大約為2萬至5萬美元,其中,拉瓦萊還從政府處獲得律師費(fèi),每起申請(qǐng)收費(fèi)6000美元。

“接受指導(dǎo)后,申請(qǐng)人告訴社會(huì)保障總署,他們喪失了基本的生活技能,無法做飯、打掃衛(wèi)生、進(jìn)行正常的社交活動(dòng)。”負(fù)責(zé)調(diào)查此案的美國地方檢察官賽勒斯·萬斯說。事實(shí)上,這些所謂的“殘障人士”過著一種截然不同的生活,有些人還在做其他工作,“即使他們自稱心理嚴(yán)重受創(chuàng)喪失了工作能力”。

目前,106名涉案人員面臨多項(xiàng)盜竊及盜竊未遂的指控,但全部被告均否認(rèn)罪行。對(duì)此檢方表示起訴僅僅是“開始”,相關(guān)調(diào)查將繼續(xù)下去,料將在未來數(shù)月發(fā)現(xiàn)更多信息。
