Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark announced the indictment of a Bronx NYPD officer for allegedly carrying out a COVID-19 fraud scheme.<\/p>\n
Edward Delgado, 41, assigned to the 41st Precinct, is accused of receiving over $40,000 in Paycheck Protection Program loans, a program run by the U.S. Small Business Administration, from Feb. to April 2021.<\/p>\n
Prosecutors say Delgado applied for two loans of $20,125, claiming to own a security business. He faces grand larceny, criminal possession of stolen property, falsifying business records and other related charges.<\/p>\n
“This defendant is accused of falsely applying for and receiving tens of thousands of dollars in loans that were earmarked for small businesses struggling to survive during the COVID-19 pandemic,” said DA Clark. “The allegations are especially egregious given that he is a police officer.”<\/p>\n
Delgado was arraigned Tuesday and released on his own recognizance. He is due back in court on April 13.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bronx District Attorney Darcel D.
