Senior lawyer alleges conflicts of interest and lack of disclosure by NY AG office's chief prosecutor

Senior lawyer John Oleske claims NY Attorney General's office chief prosecutor José Maldonado has conflicts of interest and hid relationships. Oleske was fired after making complaints.

Oleske alleges Maldonado falsified resume, hid ties to nonprofit Brooklyn Golf Alliance and private garbage industry he oversees as prosecutor.

Past NYC official accused Maldonado of rubber-stamping discriminatory FDNY policies. Maldonado didn't disclose $150k-250k stock ownership in UnitedHealth he previously worked for.

Oleske forced on leave after raising complaints, viewed by AG office as "personal vendetta." He gave evidence to federal investigators before being fired.

AG Letitia James stands behind Maldonado as "incredible public servant" who "has always conducted himself with the utmost integrity."
