A Brooklyn man has been arraigned on charges of stealing approximately $624,000 from two retired New York City employees’ pensions. The charges include corrupting the government, grand larceny, identity theft, and offering a false instrument for filing.
Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez and New York City Department of Investigation Commissioner Jocelyn E. Strauber announced the indictment of Gregory Mathieu, 40, of Canarsie, Brooklyn.
