Berwyn, IL (WGNTV) – Berwyn police were kept away from a raid in its own jurisdiction because of concerns about police corruption.By John Ruschevevitcz May 12, 2014Just after 8 pm, Friday night, Cook County Tactical and Cicero Police surrounded two homes on Ridgeland Ave. Berwyn Police raided the same homes seven months ago. In October, Cicero Police reported recovering cocaine and illegal guns. A bigger concern arose when a suspect in the home reportedly admitted hearing a Berwyn officer warn other suspects about the October raid. The person described someone else in the home talking to the Berwyn officer on speakerphone when the officer said, ‘Get out. Leave! Leave!’ Cicero police reported later finding drugs hidden in an air vent and overflow pipe. They also reported finding a gun under a mattress, with a defaced serial number and a gun in an air vent that was reported stolen.The FBI later arrested two Berwyn Officers, Lt. Joseph DiFiglio and Officer Mike Fellows, accusing them of a drug conspiracy.Now, fast forward seven months to today. Cicero Detective Lawrence Fleg said Police believe illegal activity at the homes continued. After a loud flash bang, they arrested at least six suspects and recovered more guns and drugs. One officer said that a strong smell of PCP was slowing down the search.The Berwyn Police Department was not notified of this second raid. We watched as a Berwyn officer drove up to the scene and was turned away by a Cicero officer.Berwyn is the same Department where corrupt police Sgt James Formato pleaded guilty to assisting/taking part ina string of mob burglaries in Federal court in 2012. Formato is currently surviving 4 years in prison after pleading guilty in the federal mob probe.In recent months, the Berwyn Police Department was subject to an investigation by the Department of Justice shortly after it became aware of a political hire of Probationary Police Officer Jeff Brenka; whom rigged the donation of armoured trucks to the department through his former employer- Garda armoured truck services. Shortly into the DOJ investigation, Officer Brenka was terminated from the Department. Chief Ritz and Commander Cimaglia refused to comment on the subject.
