Ongoing FBI investigation leads to charges against another ex-Detroit cop

Pacteles is the fourth current or former Detroit cop to be charged with bribery as part of an FBI investigation dubbed, "Operation Northern Hook," which is also targeting Detroit council members’ ties to the towing industry.

In a separate towing scandal, six Detroit cops were sentenced to jail in an extortion scheme.

“Our office is committed to prosecuting those officers who cast a stain on these officers and who betray the public trust by accepting bribes,” acting Attorney U.S. General Saima S. Mohsin said in a statement. “Today’s criminal complaint shows our office’s commitment to that goal.”

As part of Operation Northern Hook, the FBI is also investigating Detroit City Council members Scott Benson and Janeé Ayers and former councilman Andre Spivey, who resigned in September after pleading guilty to conspiring with an unidentified staff member to commit bribery.
