D.A. Bragg & NYPD Commissioner Tisch: Six Indicted For Spate Of Violence Following Game 4 Of The NBA Finals

 

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg, Jr., and New York City Police Department Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch today announced the indictments of six individuals in rival crews for allegedly committing retaliatory acts of violence throughout Midtown following game four of the NBA Finals. Two alleged members of the “116/6 Block” crew – JOEL BRADLEY, 24, and TIMOTHY CARLOS, 26 – allegedly attacked a member of the “3U” crew, inciting an alleged violent response from fellow “3U” members and their allies EYDAM FERNANDEZ, 23, JAYDEN GOLDEN, 23, and JAEDEN MUNOZ, 18. 

The Office believes there are other individuals involved in this alleged conduct and encourages anyone with information to call 212-335-9631.

The defendants collectively face 14 counts across the three indictments. BRADLEY and CARLOS are each charged in a New York State Supreme Court indictment with Attempted Gang Assault in the First Degree and Attempted Assault in the Second Degree. [1] FERNANDEZ and GOLDEN are each charged in a second New York State Supreme Court indictment with Attempted Murder in the Second Degree, Assault in the First Degree and Attempted Gang Assault in the First Degree, among other charges. [1]

MUNOZ is separately charged in a third New York State Supreme Court indictment with Attempted Gang Assault in the First Degree and Attempted Assault in the First Degree, among other charges. [1] An additional defendant has been charged in the indictment but is not yet apprehended.

“These defendants allegedly turned a night of celebration after a Knicks finals win into a scene of chaos, carrying out a series of violent attacks fueled by an ongoing rivalry,” said District Attorney Bragg. “These alleged assaults significantly injured several individuals and jeopardized the safety of countless New Yorkers and police officers during an incredibly busy time in Midtown Manhattan. We will not tolerate this senseless conduct and are working with our law enforcement partners to hold those responsible for this escalating violence accountable. This remains an active and ongoing investigation, and we encourage anyone with information to contact us at 212-335-9631.”

“These alleged gang members viciously attacked one another, destroyed a local business, and jeopardized the safety of everyone around them,” said NYPD Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch. “While the Knicks’ NBA Finals run should have united our city in celebration, these defendants sought to take advantage of the joyous moment with their appalling and criminal behavior. Thanks to the tireless work of the NYPD detectives, these individuals will be held accountable for the harm and destruction they caused.”

As alleged in court documents and statements made on the record, the defendants came to Midtown on June 10, 2026, to watch game four of the NBA finals. All have family or social ties to Harlem. “3U” primarily operates from AK Houses, near East 126th Street and Lexington Avenue, in East Harlem. MUNOZ and GOLDEN are alleged allies of “3U,” and affiliated with the “Chico” crew from NYCHA’s Wagner Houses in East Harlem.

“116/6 Block” primarily operates in the vicinity of West 116th Street and Morningside Avenue in Central Harlem.

The indictment alleges that in the early morning hours of June 11, 2026, following the New York Knicks’ win, the defendants allegedly carried out the following acts:

At approximately 2:24 a.m., CARLOS, BRADLEY and a group of other individuals affiliated with “116/6 Block,” allegedly assaulted a 21-year-old man, who was affiliated with “3U,” near West 45th Street and Seventh Avenue. During the alleged assault, the victim was dragged to the ground, kicked in the face and body and stomped on several times while he was motionless. The victim suffered significant injuries, including head trauma, bruising and swelling.

Shortly after the assault transpired, a group of “3U” members allegedly assaulted members of the “116/6 Block” group in response. During the assaults, FERNANDEZ allegedly slashed a 20-year-old man, who was affiliated with “116/6 Block,” in the face, splitting his lip and leaving him with a large laceration.

At approximately 2:27 a.m., the group of “3U” members and their allies, including FERNANDEZ and GOLDEN, chased the “116/6 Block” members southbound on Seventh Avenue and allegedly assaulted “116/6 Block” member CARLOS near West 42nd and West 43rd Streets. During the alleged assault, CARLOS fell face first into a street barricade. While on the ground, GOLDEN stomped on CARLOS’ body and FERNANDEZ slashed him in the neck. CARLOS’ injuries, included a split lip, cuts and bruising to his head, and a deep laceration to his neck.

Approximately a half hour later, around fourteen “3U” members and their allies chased BRADLEY into a Five Guys at 253 West 42nd Street. While inside the restaurant, the “3U” members and allies allegedly assaulted BRADLEY, including FERNANDEZ, MUNOZ and other individuals, who threw restaurant chairs towards him as he attempted to hide behind the counter for safety. FERNANDEZ and other individuals followed BRADLEY behind the counter and allegedly assaulted him, including punching and kicking him. BRADLEY’s injuries, included bruising and swelling to his body, a laceration to his left arm, and wounds to his hand after it fell into an oil fryer while trying to dodge the attacks.

Florida Ransomware Negotiator Who Extorted and Attacked Multiple U.S. Victims Sentenced to Prison

 

Angelo Martino, 41, of Land O’Lakes, Florida, formerly employed as a ransomware negotiator, was sentenced today to 70 months for his role in conspiring with Blackcat/ALPHV (BlackCat) actors to extort multiple victims, as well as conspiring with other former cybersecurity professionals to attack additional victims in 2023. 

“Angelo Martino’s victims shared heartbreaking accounts of how their businesses were nearly destroyed, while the people they hired to help them instead betrayed them to ransomware gangs,” said Assistant Attorney General A. Tysen Duva of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division. “Today’s sentence accounts for the harm Martino caused and demonstrates that the Department of Justice can and will identify and prosecute cybercriminals to the fullest extent of the law.”

“He was hired to help victims in a moment of crisis,” said U.S. Attorney Jason A. Reding Quiñones for the Southern District of Florida. “Instead, Martino betrayed them, fed their confidential negotiating positions to ransomware criminals, and helped squeeze them for more money. This case sends a clear message: we will pursue the hackers who deploy ransomware, the insiders who enable them, and the money they steal from American victims. Thanks to the outstanding work of our prosecutors and law enforcement partners, Martino is going to federal prison, and more than $10 million in criminal proceeds has been seized.”

“Angelo Martino sold out the very victims he was hired to represent, handing their confidential negotiating positions to BlackCat actors to drive up ransoms and enrich himself,” said Assistant Director Brett Leatherman of the FBI Cyber Division. “Today's sentence demonstrates that the FBI will pursue not just the criminals who deploy ransomware, but the insiders who enable them. Working with our partners, the FBI will find those who betray that trust and hold them accountable.”

According to court documents, Martino abused his role at a U.S.-based cyber incident response company and conspired with the operators of the BlackCat ransomware variant beginning in April 2023 to extort five different ransomware victims. Specifically, Martino was paid by BlackCat attackers to provide confidential information about the negotiating position and strategy of his employer’s clients and enable the ransomware actors to maximize the ransoms paid by the victims. 

Additionally, Martino conspired with former cybersecurity professionals Kevin Martin, age 36, of Texas, who was hired as Martino’s coworker after the conspiracy began, and Ryan Goldberg, age 41, of Georgia, who was employed by a separate incident response company, to successfully deploy BlackCat ransomware against additional victims located throughout the United States between April 2023 and November 2023. After successfully extorting one victim for approximately $1.2 million in Bitcoin, the men split their share of the ransom three ways and laundered the funds through various means. 

Martino plead guilty on April 14 to a one-count information charging him with conspiring to interfere with interstate commerce through extortion. On May 1 Martin and Goldberg were sentenced to 48 months in prison by Judge K. Michael Moore in the Southern District of Florida.

To date, law enforcement has seized $10 million of assets from Martino, including digital currency, vehicles, a food truck, and a luxury fishing boat that Martino obtained through the scheme. A hearing to determine the amount of restitution to be ordered against Martino is set for Sept. 17.

Today’s announcement follows the Justice Department’s prior actions in December 2023 to disrupt BlackCat ransomware, during which the FBI developed a decryption tool that allowed FBI field offices across the country and law enforcement partners around the world to offer hundreds of victims the capability of restoring their systems, saving victims approximately $99 million in ransom payments. At that time, the FBI also seized several websites operated by the BlackCat ransomware actors. 

The FBI’s Miami field office is leading the investigation, with assistance provided by the U.S. Secret Service.

Trial Attorneys Christen Gallagher and Jorge Gonzalez of the Criminal Division’s Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section (CCIPS) and Assistant U.S. Attorneys Thomas Haggerty and Quinshawna Landon for the Southern District of Florida are prosecuting the case. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Mitchell Hyman and Assistant U.S. Attorney Denielle N. Croke for the Southern District of Florida are handling asset forfeiture and restitution.

Significant assistance in this investigation was provided by Assistant U.S. Attorney Merrilyn Hoenemeyer for the Middle District of Florida and former Assistant U.S. Attorney Marx P. Calderón of the Southern District of Florida.

CCIPS investigates and prosecutes cybercrime and intellectual property (IP) crime in coordination with domestic and international law enforcement agencies, often with assistance from the private sector. Since 2020, CCIPS has secured the conviction of over 180 cyber and IP criminals and court orders for the return of over $350 million in victim funds. 

This action is part of Operation Riptide, an ongoing FBI campaign targeting the criminal actors, infrastructure, and financial networks behind cybercrime, cyber-enabled crime, and fraud against the American people. Last year, Americans reported over $20 billion in losses to cybercrime, a 26 percent single-year increase. Operation Riptide is the FBI's sustained enforcement response to that threat.

If you are a victim of ransomware, contact your local FBI field office or file a report at ic3.gov.

If you have information about ALPHV/BlackCat, their affiliates or activities, you may be eligible for a reward through Department of State’s Transnational Organized Crime Rewards program or Rewards for Justice program. 

Mayor Mamdani Secures $1.7 Million from Extra Space for New York City Consumers

 

 DCWP enforcement action returns $1 million to consumers and establishes enhanced compliance terms on the self-storage company to protect New Yorkers’ property  

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani and Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) Commissioner Samuel A.A. Levine today announced a $1.7 million settlement with Extra Space, one of the nation’s largest self-storage companies, resolving a landmark enforcement action over widespread violations of New York City’s Consumer Protection Law.

After DCWP sued the company in February 2026, alleging deceptive and exploitative business practices, Extra Space agreed to pay $1 million in restitution to harmed consumers and more than $700,000 in civil penalties, while accepting strict compliance terms that stop the company from luring consumers in with low prices only to raise rates excessively, from maintaining filthy storage units, and from seizing and auctioning off personal property without due process.

The settlement comes just weeks before New York City’s new self-storage licensing program takes effect, sending a clear message that self-storage companies seeking to do business in the city will be held to a higher standard.

“People pay Extra Space to protect the things that matter most to them, not to have those belongings neglected, held hostage or auctioned off,” said Mayor Mamdani. “This company — like others in this industry — lured New Yorkers in with low prices, jacked up prices, let units rot and took people's property when they couldn’t keep up. Today they’re paying $1.7 million, and every self-storage company in this city should take note: if you prey on New Yorkers, this administration will hold you accountable.”

“Storage units hold the things people can’t replace — family photos, a parent's belongings, whatever didn't fit when the walls closed in,” said Deputy Mayor for Economic Justice Julie Su. “Extra Space knew that and exploited that trust. This settlement gets New Yorkers their money back and puts real rules in place before this company touches another person's things.”

“An acute lack of square feet is a near-universal New York City struggle, and like many self-storage businesses, Extra Space preyed on that fact,” said DCWP Commissioner Samuel A.A. Levine. “Not only did this company rip customers off with bait-and-switch pricing and junk fees--they actually auctioned off people’s personal belongings after they protested the price increases. DCWP’s decisive enforcement action puts an end to this egregious conduct that consumers face from self-storage businesses, and provides direct monetary relief to people. Nothing can ever replace cherished family heirlooms. But the resolution of this case delivers economic justice to New Yorkers and sets the standard for the self-storage industry before licensing begins later this summer.”

Details of the Case

DCWP opened its investigation after receiving a surge of complaints about Extra Space and other self-storage operators. The agency reviewed more than 100 complaints against Extra Space and found that, beginning in 2023, the company engaged in widespread violations of New York City’s Consumer Protection Law, including:  

• False advertising: The company promised clean storage units despite renting units affected by vermin infestations, rodent droppings, water damage and mold.  
• Bait-and-switch pricing: Extra Space suddenly and steeply increased customers’ rates after move-in despite written assurances that it would provide 30 days' advance notice before raising prices. 
• Junk fees: Consumers were hit with arbitrary hidden fees, some of which the company continued charging customers after they canceled their contracts. 
• Wrongful lockouts and auctions: Extra Space denied customers access to their units and auctioned off personal belongings without due process in order from consumers who owed them money or had fallen behind on payment.  

Under the settlement, which has been filed with the court, Extra Space is prohibited from deceptively advertising prices or facility conditions and must implement stronger due process protections before restricting access to storage units or auctioning personal property. The company must also improve consumer service by establishing a relocation assistance program and providing adequate notice before raising prices.

Extra Space is just one self-storage operator among many in New York City. Consumer complaints about the self-storage industry have increased dramatically in recent years. New York City has more than 300 self-storage facilities, and Extra Space generated among the highest number of consumer complaints. As apartment sizes shrink and housing costs continue to rise, more New Yorkers rely on self-storage, making strong consumer protections increasingly important.

Beginning Aug. 25, 2026, Local Law 171 of 2025 will require every self-storage facility operating in New York City to obtain a DCWP license. The compliance measures required under this settlement establish a model for how companies must operate if they want to do business in the city. DCWP encourages consumers who believe they have been harmed by a self-storage operators to file a complaint, with supporting documentation when possible, at NYC.gov/Consumers. 

ICE Arrests Alien in New Jersey Who Illegally Voted in Federal Elections

 

This alien from Slovakia illegally registered to vote and voted in the 2022 elections

The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released the following statement after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) arrested an alien who illegally registered and voted in New Jersey.

On July 1, HSI New Jersey, in cooperation with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), arrested Marian Charitun, a citizen of Slovakia residing in the United States as a green card holder.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey, Charitun registered to vote in New Jersey, falsely declaring that he was a United States citizen, and then voted in the 2022 general election, which included an election for the U.S. House of Representatives. He then went on to apply for U.S. citizenship, filing paperwork with USCIS claiming to have never registered to vote or to have voted in any federal, state, or local elections.

Charitun now faces charges of illegally voting in a federal election and making false statements while applying for U.S. citizenship.

“This alien from Slovakia illegally voted in American elections, and then lied about it when he tried to apply for citizenship,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “He now faces federal charges of illegally voting in a federal election and making false statements. Our message to aliens who vote in American elections is clear: we will find you, arrest you, and you will face the consequences, including criminal charges and deportation. Only Americans should be electing American leaders.”

This HSI-led case was brought under the United States Attorney’s Office’s Election Integrity Task Force, a coalition of federal law enforcement partners focused on preserving and protecting the integrity of elections conducted in the District of New Jersey.

Canadian Man Sentenced to 20 Years in Federal Prison for Trafficking More Than 850 Kilograms of Cocaine and Meth from U.S. into Canada

 

A Canadian national was sentenced today to 240 months in federal prison for leading a criminal organization that – during a roughly one-month span – trafficked from the United States into Canada hundreds of kilograms of methamphetamine and cocaine worth up to $17 million, the United States Attorney's Office for the Central District of California announced today.

Guramrit Sidhu, 63, of Brampton, Ontario, Canada, was sentenced by United States District Judge John A. Kronstadt.

Sidhu pleaded guilty on March 26 to one count of engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise. He has been in federal custody since October 2024.

According to his plea agreement, from September 2020 to February 2023, Sidhu led an organization responsible for trafficking drugs from the U.S. into Canada for distribution.

From September 13, 2022, to October 24, 2022, Sidhu orchestrated the distribution of eight separate drug loads, totaling approximately 523 kilograms (1,153 pounds) of methamphetamine and 347 kilograms (765 pounds) of cocaine, which law enforcement seized. These drug loads had an estimated wholesale value of approximately $15 million to $17 million.

After buying the bulk quantities of cocaine and methamphetamine in the U.S., Sidhu arranged for the narcotics’ transportation into Canada via long-haul semi-trucks for further distribution. Sidhu provided telephone numbers and serial numbers on bills of currency for couriers to use as a “token” for identification purposes during the delivery and transportation of the cocaine and methamphetamine.

Sidhu and co-conspirators then retrieved the cocaine and methamphetamine from locations within Canada for further distribution.

Sidhu is the eighth defendant to plead guilty in this matter. Several other defendants have pleaded guilty to criminal charges in this case and have been sentenced to federal prison terms ranging from 27 months to 108 months.

The FBI, the Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles Interagency Metropolitan Police Apprehension Crime Task Force (LA IMPACT), the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, United States Customs and Border Protection, and law enforcement authorities in Mexico investigated this matter. Significant assistance was provided by Homeland Security Investigations and the Drug Enforcement Administration. The Justice Department’s Office of International Affairs worked with the Canadian authorities to secure the arrest and October 2024 extradition of Sidhu.

This case is part of the Homeland Security Task Force (HSTF) initiative established by Executive Order 14159, Protecting the American People Against Invasion. HSTF is a whole-of-government partnership dedicated to eliminating criminal cartels, foreign gangs, transnational criminal organizations, and human smuggling and trafficking rings operating in the United States and abroad. Through historic interagency collaboration, the HSTF directs the full might of United States law enforcement towards identifying, investigating, and prosecuting the full spectrum of crimes committed by these organizations, which have long fueled violence and instability within our borders.

Attorney General James Sues Some of Nation’s Largest Chemical Companies Over Toxic Pollution from Consumer Products

 

3M, DuPont, and Others Knowingly Caused Decades of PFAS Pollution Linked to Cancer, Birth Defects, and Other Health Problems

New York Attorney General Letitia James today sued some of the nation’s largest chemical and agricultural companies – 3M Company (3M), EIDP, Inc. (EIDP), The Chemours Company, Inc. (Chemours), Corteva, Inc. (Corteva), and DuPont De Nemours, Inc. (DuPont) – for contributing to decades of toxic polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) pollution in New York through their use in consumer products. PFAS are known as “forever chemicals” because of their ability to persist in the environment without breaking down. Some PFAS are associated with an increased risk of cancer, birth defects, pregnancy complications, high cholesterol, hormone issues, and a wide range of other health problems.

Attorney General James alleges that these companies manufactured, marketed, and sold PFAS that they knew to be toxic for use in consumer products. She further alleges that the companies deceived consumers and the public about their exposure to PFAS and the contamination of the environment, and failed to warn the public about the risks of PFAS in consumer goods. Attorney General James is seeking a court order holding the companies liable for the environmental and public health damage they have caused, requiring them to fund cleanup efforts throughout New York, and ordering them to properly warn consumers about their products’ risks. The lawsuit also seeks damages, restitution, and other financial penalties. 

“Big companies like 3M and DuPont knowingly sold toxic products that threatened New Yorkers’ health and polluted our environment for decades. It’s time for them to pay for the damage they caused,” said Attorney General James. “For far too long, our communities have unfairly shouldered the costs of protecting people from these toxic forever chemicals and cleaning up their contamination. I look forward to ensuring the companies responsible for PFAS pollution are held accountable.”

PFAS were first developed in the 1940s and were used in a wide variety of consumer products for their water and oil-repellant properties. Companies such as 3M and DuPont began manufacturing and selling these chemicals for use in consumer products to create water and stain-resistant fabric treatments, water-repellant clothing, food packaging, non-stick cookware, cosmetics, and more. Regular use of these products released toxic PFAS into the environment and consumers’ bodies, posing substantial environmental and health risks.

Attorney General James alleges that the companies knew early on that PFAS were toxic, persistent, and accumulated in humans, plants, and animals, yet hid this information from the public. As early as the 1970s, researchers at 3M had discovered PFAS in blood samples from the company’s employees and the general public, and knew that their products were toxic. In 1981, DuPont secretly monitored 50 of its female employees who were exposed to one of its PFAS products. Its data showed that two of the seven pregnant workers who were exposed had babies with eye and nostril defects. Rather than inform its employees or regulators of the results, DuPont abandoned the study and continued to manufacture and sell that PFAS product.

The lawsuit also alleges the companies knew that their products caused environmental damage. For example, in 1983, 3M scientists concluded that PFAS could pollute the water supply through wastewater, yet for decades 3M failed to conduct any of the environmental risk assessments its researchers recommended. Instead, the companies continued to aggressively produce, market, and sell chemical products containing PFAS they knew to be toxic while misleading consumers about their safety. Even when the companies phased out their use of certain PFAS products, they failed to warn consumers about products that were still for sale or already in their homes containing these toxic chemicals. In other cases, harmful PFAS were merely replaced with similarly toxic compounds.

Attorney General James alleges that the companies violated New York laws by producing, marketing, and selling products containing chemicals they knew to be harmful to New Yorkers’ health and the environment for decades. The companies violated New Yorkers’ rights to clean air and water by causing widespread environmental contamination. They violated New York’s consumer protection laws by deceptively marketing their products as safe, when in fact, they contained toxic chemicals. The companies also engaged in repeated and persistent fraud, allowing them to illegally profit by failing to warn New Yorkers of the health and environmental risks of their products.

Attorney General James is seeking a court order holding the companies liable for the environmental and public health effects of their PFAS products and requiring them to fund cleanup efforts to rid communities of the toxic chemicals. The lawsuit also seeks to prevent the companies from selling any products containing harmful PFAS without adequate warnings, and to end any misleading advertising. In addition, Attorney General James is seeking damages, disgorgement of all illegally earned profits, restitution, and other penalties.

Attorney General James thanks the New York Department of Environmental Conservation and New York Department Health for their assistance in this matter.
