Evidence Cash Missing From The Hudson County Prosecutors Office

Jersey City, NJ (77WABC)-Cash held as evidence in various criminal cases has gone missing from the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office. An internal investigation is underway.

Hudson County Prosecutor Esther Suarez did not disclose the amount of cash that is missing. She said limited investigative staff had access to the money.
Suarez says the Prosecutor’s Office Public Integrity Unit, Internal Affairs Section, is conducting the investigation. The New Jersey Office of the Attorney General was also notified by the Prosecutor’s Office.
Prosecutor Suarez said, “This is a sheer betrayal and disgrace of the sacred oaths taken by those who wear a badge and were involved in these appalling acts. What compounds this, even more, is the fact that members of the Prosecutor’s Office are held to an even higher standard when it comes to integrity and trust. Every angle will be examined and we are confident that we will find who was responsible for this and hold them accountable under the law.”

The Prosecutor says in addition to the internal affairs investigation,  she has also ordered a full audit of other cases and a review of the procedures for the safekeeping of cash and property.
