NATION IN BRIEF : NEW YORK : Probers Say Dinkins Won’t Be Prosecuted
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Investigators said they found no evidence of criminal wrongdoing by New York Mayor David N. Dinkins in the transfer of stock to his son. But they said that efforts to authenticate a handwritten letter as proof of the sale were inconclusive. “We have not cleared him. We have simply concluded the evidence is legally insufficient to warrant a criminal prosecution,” said independent city investigator Elkan Abramowitz. Dinkins told reporters that “as far as I’m concerned, I’ve been cleared and that’s the end of it.”
