NYC special narcotics chief moves to dismiss more drug convictions tied to disgraced ex-NYPD detective

Franco, who was assigned to the Manhattan South Narcotics Division, has been indicted in Manhattan on 26 counts of perjury, official misconduct, and other related charges for lying on the stand and fabricating drug sales that landed multiple innocent New Yorkers in state prison. The NYPD fired him following a disciplinary trial in May 2020.
