Fox News
Joseph Bongiovanni, a former DEA agent, is on trial facing allegations of bribery, conspiracy and obstruction of justice. He is accused of accepting bribes from the Mafia.
In a federal trial that began this month, prosecutors portrayed Bongiovanni as a greedy racist who pocketed more than $250,000 in cash-stuffed envelopes over a decade and threw his colleagues off by opening bogus case files and encouraging them to spend less time investigating Italians and more time on Blacks and Hispanics, "n----- and s----" he was alleged to have called them. When authorities finally unmasked him in 2019, he hastily retired and wiped his cellphone clean.
