"Dante DiFronzo has earned $535,238.40 in administrative leave pay since 2017, amid accusations of withholding evidence and lying on reports after he 'deputized' a street source."
"Prosecutors don't seem to want DiFronzo back serving with the department either, as the Middlesex County District Attorney's Office filed a Brady letter disclosing potentially exculpatory evidence."
"The 2017 Brady letter included allegations that DiFronzo 'knowingly made material omissions in police reports,' which are central to his ongoing employment battle."
Dante DiFronzo, a Somerville police detective, has received $535,238.40 in paid leave since 2017 due to allegations of misconduct, including withholding evidence. He was fired in 2018, but an arbitration ruling reinstated him without back pay. DiFronzo won a federal lawsuit claiming retaliation for reporting corruption, yet he has not returned to work. Prosecutors have expressed concerns about his credibility, filing a Brady letter that details allegations against him, which complicates his potential return to the police force.
