Phoenix Defrauds Stimulus With Phony Kidnap Statistics Full Disclosure Network(R) TV Video-Internet Series

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The City of Phoenix had touted itself as the "Kidnap Capital" of the USA. Watch the 1-minute preview video here from the latest release in a Full Disclosure Network(R) TV-Internet Series featuring Paul Orfanedes, Litigation Director of the public interest law firm Judicial Watch, as he describes the lawsuit against Phoenix Police Chief Jack Harris. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Phoenix Police Sgt. Phil Roberts, who blew the whistle on a scam to get federal stimulus grant money by falsifying the number of kidnappings in the city by human smugglers. He divulges how Roberts, in trying to do the right thing, was investigated by Internal Affairs, and what the smoking gun was in this case involving collusion and falsification by city officials. The outcome of the lawsuit vindicated Sgt. Roberts, who was reinstated to his job following the resignation in disgrace of Police Chief Jack Harris.
