Former Miami Police Chief Art Acevedo sues city, claiming he was fired for being whistleblower
CNN
Former Miami Police Chief Art Acevedo filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday against the city's government and four city officials accusing them of firing him for being a whistleblower and exposing wrongdoing by city officials.
The lawsuit names Miami City Manager Arthur Noriega and city commissioners Joe Carollo, Alex Díaz de la Portilla and Manolo Reyes.
"The Defendant Commissioners have repeatedly attempted to interfere with the operations of the (Miami Police Department) and use the MPD for their own personal benefit," the lawsuit alleges.
