Convicted 'American Gangster' Frank Lucas and New York Magazine charged they were libeled by Lucas' assertions that the narcotics officers stole "9 to 10 million dollars" during a search of his posh home in 1975. Former Drug Enforcement Administration agents and New York City detectives have filed a libel suit against convicted drug lord 'American Gangster' Frank Lucas and New York Magazine.
This is the second attempt the agents have made to sue over Lucas related allegations. An earlier suit against NBC Universal was dismissed by the federal court in New York. It charged the agents were defamed in the closing credits of the movie "American Gangster" which asserted that the narcotics cops involved in the Lucas case were corrupt. The suit is currently on appeal.
