Kerik Mob Probe (NY Post)

[kskiska]

December 16, 2004 -- The Bronx District Attorney's Office said yesterday it will investigate allegations that former NYPD top cop Bernard Kerik used a mob-connected contractor to renovate an apartment he purchased.

Bronx DA Robert Johnson is launching the probe in the wake of a report that in 1999 Kerik had a mob-connected contractor convert two first-floor apartments into one large apartment at the West 239th Street building.

Kerik, then the city's Correction Department commissioner, was experiencing severe financial problems at the time.

Kerik's lawyer, Joseph Tacopina, insisted yesterday that the story is bogus because the embattled ex-NYPD commissioner bought the apartment after the lavish renovation was done.

He also said Kerik never met the ex-cons involved in the construction work.
