Judge Rules Ex-NYC Mayor de Blasio Must Pay $475K Fine Over Public Funds Misuse
- Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio must pay a $475,000 fine for misusing public funds on a police security detail during his failed White House bid, as ruled by a judge this week.
- Judge Shahabuddeen Ally dismissed de Blasio's legal challenge, stating it was 'perplexing' and 'entirely baseless' in an 80-page ruling.
- The ruling confirms de Blasio is responsible for $320,000 in travel costs and a $155,000 fine for 31 out-of-state trips by his security detail.
- The fine is the largest ever issued by New York's Conflicts of Interest Board, which enforces ethical standards for local officials.
