A veteran New York investigator with ties to former Governor Cuomo’s orbit lost his job late last year. Here’s what happened.

Andrew Cuomo’s orbit was abruptly and quietly fired last year.
The documents show the inspector general’s office fired Addolorato and Hill on Oct. 14 after a routine audit discovered unusual activity within, a one-stop-shop database for information on defendants’ criminal histories and crimes available only to a strictly controlled list of authorized users who complete a training.
The database includes a treasure trove of restricted data, including criminal information that shows whether a person has been ever arrested, charged, indicted, incarcerated or paroled. Certain law-enforcement officials and investigators are allowed access only after completing a training course andand must be used only according to state policy. Access for personal use is strictly prohibited, in part to keep investigators from using the information for their own gain.
According to Shechtman’s letter, Addolorato gave his father’s name and birth date to Hill to look up in the eJusticeNY system, knowing he had been arrested for robbery in the 1930s. It was meant to be a test run, Shechtman wrote. Addolorato had Hill – who had eJusticeNY access – use an old, soon-to-be-closed case number because the gambling investigation was still in the “preliminary” stage, according to their attorney.
