ALBANY - State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli said his staff discovered that records were missing following the resignation of a deputy comptroller involved with the state's massive pension fund this past spring.
The discovery that items were missing from the desk of David Loglisci was reported to Albany County District Attorney David Soares, who is investigating the behavior of past employees under former Comptroller Alan Hevesi, DiNapoli said Monday.
“Within a short time, we compiled copies of nearly all the missing documents and delivered them to the district attorney,” DiNapoli said in a statement following a published report that missing material has hampered investigators.
DiNapoli did not identify the records.
Loglisci was Hevesi's deputy comptroller for pension investment and cash management.
“We will continue to fully cooperate with law enforcement officials to ensure that any wrongdoing by the Hevesi administration is uncovered and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” DiNapoli's statement said.
Attorney General Andrew Cuomo announced in May that his office is working with Soares to investigate whether investment funds and companies took advantage of conflicts of interest within the state Comptroller's Office that may have affected the $150 billion pension fund.
Hevesi resigned in December and pleaded guilty to a felony for using state employees as drivers and companions for his wife.
The plea resulted in no jail time.
