Anti Semitism in NYC justice system

Brooklyn DA aide a no-show after staffers air complaints of abuse, antisemitism

Brooklyn DA Eric Gonzalez’ embattled aide Maritza Ming has not shown up at the office the entire week since The Post’s Sunday report on allegations that she bullied underlings, belittled Jewish staffers, and misused the office for her benefit, sources said.

DA spokesman Oren Yaniv said she has not been suspended. Ming, who makes $210,000 a year, continues to be paid and is not on vacation, said people close to the agency.

“Since she is out of the office, she shouldn’t be paid with taxpayer dollars to not work,” one complained.

Yaniv refused to comment on whether Ming is still receiving a paycheck. “Personnel issues are being handled internally,” he said.

Meanwhile, Gonzalez met this week with about two dozen Jewish assistant district attorneys. The meeting came after he sent an office-wide memo announcing plans to have city investigators and outside experts probe allegations of anti-Semitism and revamp the office’s discrimination complaint process.
