Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell fired Greco earlier this month after a department trial. The department has not shared additional information about the termination, but an NYPD official with knowledge of the case said Greco violated department policy that bans officers from spending time with convicted felons., the so-called “Manhattan Madam,” who was previously busted for running a prostitution ring.

But the suit argues that the NYPD policy barring relationships with felons and hate groups are both “overbroad,” and infringe on a person’s freedom of speech rights. In Greco’s case, the complaint states, despite his relationships, he was not involved in “any criminal or subversive activities with them or anyone else to overthrow the United States government.”
