Enforcement Agents Unhappy With 'American Gangster'
Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe's hit new movie American Gangster is
at the center of a new legal fight, after upsetting a retired Drug
Enforcement agent in New York. The narcotics detectives are far from
happy with the way they are depicted in the gritty new movie, which
follows the fortunes of 1970s heroin kingpin Frank Lucas and the cops
trying to bring him to justice. And one of the police officers, who
worked the Lucas case, is now threatening to sue movie studio bosses at
Universal for what he claims are "false and defamatory statements."
Gregory Korniloff's attorney Dominic Amorosa has sent a cease and desist
letter to the studio heads demanding a retraction of statements made in
the film, according to Tmz.com. The letter alleges that several key
facts in the movie are misleading. Korniloff was the case agent for the
DEA and "personally participated in the search of Lucas' house... and
the arrest of Lucas."
