Title: NYPD Officers Raid Newsweek Headquarters
Post by: edpc on January 18, 2018, 07:47:41 pm
About two dozen NYPD offficers and investigators from the Manhattan district attorney’s office raided the offices of Newsweek and its parent company, IBT Media, on Thursday.

IBT Media was co-founded by Jonathan Davis and Etienne Uzac. The IRS placed a $1.2 million federal tax lien against Uzac in December 2017.

The agents were said to be photographing servers in the offices, but not downloading any files at the offices on 7 Hanover Square, according to sources.

I gather from the story the officers and DA investigators are NYC officials. This seems to be something other than the tax issue.
