'Duped' DEA boss says he wasn't told about Bongiovanni's relationship with Gerace
Bongiovanni's report indicated Gerace had provided information regarding individuals in past narcotics investigations and that Gerace "knew significant cocaine traffickers" of kilo-quantities of cocaine in North Buffalo and South Buffalo. In exchange for the information, Gerace wanted a good-faith commitment from probation officials he would receive consideration for his failed drug test. Instead, Herbst interprets the meeting as Bongiovanni essentially telling him that Gerace is Bongiovanni's informant, because Bongiovanni has known Gerace a long time. Herbst "shuts down his investigation of Gerace," Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph Tripi said earlier this year at Bongiovanni's first trial. There's no conclusive evidence that Bongiovanni's report was false, his lawyers said.

Opinion: Sheikh Hasina gone but Bangladesh is leagues away from peace
With Sheikh Hasina’s unceremonious exit under military pressure, Bangladesh has descended into chaos. A wave of vendetta has been unleashed against ruling Awami League leaders and activists across the country, leaving hundreds dead. It is obvious that the Awami League, though technically still in power, has lost the plot and is not likely to figure in any post-Hasina dispensation that may emerge in Dhaka now. With Hasina’s son, Sajeeb Wazed Joy, making it clear that his mother will not return to Bangladesh politics, the Awami League is clearly rendered leaderless, a ship without a captain. advertisementThese parties may also reach out to some Awami League dissidents who had personal popularity and mass appeal but were sidelined by Hasina’s ruling coterie.
