Indictments could be imminent as a federal grand jury meets this week in an ongoing probe of the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office under former prosecutor Charles Hynes, a source told The Post.
Investigators have been scrutinizing the operation of the office, including allegations that Hynes improperly used money forfeited by criminals.
Hynes, meanwhile, recently suffered a “serious and incapacitating stroke,” according to his lawyer’s office. Hynes, 81, served as DA for 23 years before losing a re-election bid to Ken Thompson in 2013.
The city Department of Investigation found that Judge Barry Kamins improperly gave Hynes campaign advice and communicated with him on cases.
The DOI also found Hynes paid political consultant Mortimer Matz with forfeiture funds.
Hynes’ lawyer, Robert Hill Schwartz, is recovering from open-heart surgery and was unable to comment.
