New York City police are investigating two detectives who worked security at an upscale Manhattan townhouse where an Italian man was kidnapped and tortured for weeks by two crypto investors who wanted to steal his Bitcoin. A city official told The Associated Press on Thursday that the two detectives have been placed on modified leave. They said the department is probing whether the officers were approved to do off duty security work. They also confirmed one of the detectives serves on Mayor Eric Adams’ security detail and drove the victim from the airport to the townhouse.
