Alex Spiro’s Alleged Criminal Conduct<\/h2>\n

How He Was Caught Lying and Impersonating Law Enforcement<\/h3>\n

It comes as no surprise that Alex Spiro<\/strong> not only represented Harvey Weinstein<\/strong>, but is now representing his good friend Jay-Z,<\/strong> too<\/a>. Weinstein<\/strong> and Jay-Z<\/strong> have a very long, documented relationship,<\/strong> including numerous business interests<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Jay-Z,
Jay-Z, real name Shawn Carter, with friend and business associate Harvey Weinstein.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Alex Spiro<\/strong> is accused<\/a> of numerous violations, including that in 2013<\/strong>, he lied<\/strong>\u00a0and impersonated<\/strong> law enforcement<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

According to the NY Post<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“Alex Spiro \u2014 who left the Manhattan District Attorney\u2019s Office in July 2013 \u2014 flashed his badge<\/strong> the following year while attending a legal conference in Miami<\/strong>, where he bragged that he was head of the DA\u2019s \u201chomicide bureau,\u201d<\/strong> sources said.<\/p>\n

There is no such bureau in the DA\u2019s Office<\/strong>, and one of the women \u2014 who knew that fact \u2014 called his bluff, sources said.”<\/p>\n

In addition to the Miami incident<\/strong>, Spiro<\/strong> repeatedly used his old badge to get into a restricted area i<\/strong>n the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse<\/strong> known as the Early Case Assessment Bureau, where prosecutors and cops prepare criminal complaints against newly arrested defendants, sources said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw him several times after he had left, sitting in ECAB in the seats where police officers sit with prisoners,\u201d<\/strong> said one person who was a prosecutor at the time.<\/p>\n

Former Manhattan prosecutors are allowed to keep their badges on the condition that they don\u2019t display them in public<\/strong>, according to several former prosecutors.<\/p>\n

At the time of the Miami<\/strong> and ECAB incidents<\/strong>, Spiro was an associate of defense lawyer Ben Brafman<\/strong>, who is currently representing Weinstein<\/strong> against charges that the movie mogul raped a woman in 2013 and sexually assaulted another in 2004.<\/p>\n
