The federal investigation into the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Buffalo office reached beyond Special Agent Joseph Bongiovanni – and it’s not over yet.
“This should not in any way be a reflection on the thousands of DEA agents or law enforcement officers who serve this nation with honor and integrity,” said Erin Keegan, special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations in Buffalo, after the conviction earlier this month of former agent Joseph Bongiovanni.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph M. Tripi described Joseph Bongiovanni in stark terms after his conviction, labeling as “corrupt” the former agent who had “violated his oath” and “protect(ed) those he should have been investigating and arresting.”
