(AP) - TRENTON, N.J.-A lawyer for former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik has moved to quash a subpoena issued by New Jersey gaming officials, calling it "ridiculously overbroad."
The state Division of Gaming Enforcement wants numerous documents as part of its latest probe into two Clifton firms, Interstate Industrial and its sister company, Interstate Drywall, which its investigators have accused of having mob ties, The Star-Ledger of Newark reported Thursday.
The subpoena, issued last month, asks Kerik to produce documents pertaining to 13 issues, ranging from communication between him and Frank and Peter DiTommaso - the brothers who own the two firms - to records about renovations made to an apartment Kerik owns in the Bronx, N.Y.
It also seeks more information about Interstate's employment of Kerik's brother, Donald; evidence of any money the DiTommaso brothers may have paid Bernard Kerik, and evidence of money Bernard Kerik may have paid to Larry Ray, whom Kerik recommended the DiTommasos hire to deal with their regulatory problems, according to the report.
<...> Casino Control Commission Chairwoman Linda Kassekert has scheduled a hearing on the matter April 25.
Last July, the commission voted unanimously to dismiss the division's allegations that the DiTommaso brothers were unsuitable for licenses.
The commission found that their connections to organized crime were incidental and unavoidable because they worked in the mob-infiltrated New York-area construction industry.
