of the police union on July 1, 2002. FBI agents raided the union’s Manhattan office and his Port Washington home in September 2021.

Mullins was also docked more than $31,000 for comments he made about two government officials and for tweeting arrest information about former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s daughter. Mullins was docked 70 vacation days after being found guilty of administrative charges the same day his resignation became official. The Civilian Complaint Review Board, which tried the case regarding the language Mullins used about the two officials, former Health Commissioner Oxiris Barbot and U.S. Rep. Ritchie Torres, wanted him fired.

Mullins said he felt the need to speak out against Barbot last year when she reportedly denied a request from a former Police Department chief to provide officers with protective equipment.

Mullins also said he spoke out against Torres, an openly gay person who was in the midst of a campaign for public office because he had accused officers of engaging in a work slowdown that resulted in an uptick in murders and shootings.

Officials also said Mullins was found guilty of publicizing the information about the arrest of de Blasio’s daughter, Chiara, at a demonstration in 2020 over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Mullins argued that the information in the report he tweeted was already posted online. Mullins’ one count of wire fraud carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. He is required to forfeit $600,000 to the United States and make an additional $600,000 restitution payment to the union.

Mullins’ attorney Thomas Kenniff told reporters that his client “acknowledged he’s wrong, accepted responsibility, and we’re hopeful the judge will treat him fairly at sentencing.”

His sentencing is anticipated to take place on May 25, according to multiple reports.
