David Villanueva, an NYPD sergeant assigned to the gun license bureau, was arrested on charges of conspiring to commit bribery. Both Reichberg and another businessman who has already pleaded guilty in the case contributed heavily to de Blasio's campaign. According to the complaint, the prostitute told law enforcement agents that Grant and others "took advantage of her services" during the trip. Harrington and Grant were each released on $250,000 bail while Reichberg was freed on $500,000 bail. In exchange for the bribes, Reichberg and others "got a private police force for themselves and their friends," Bharara said at a news conference.
