Two members of the NYPD, including a detective in Mayor Eric Adams’ security detail, have been placed on modified duty this week after links surfaced to two crypto businessmen charged with kidnapping an Italian tourist earlier this month, sources closes to the case tell News 4.

Sources familiar with the case say NYPD brass learned the detective assigned to protect Adams had provided security at the Prince Street townhouse in Nolita where crypto businessmen John Woeltz and William Duplessie allegedly tortured and held captive an Italian tourist for 17 days. Sources believe the detective - working off duty for the two crypto businessmen - also picked up the Italian tourist from the airport earlier this month.

    Per rule 4, can you please fix the post title to match the article’s? The first half of it is fine, but the second half crosses into editorializing (even though part of it is in the description). It also looks like the source updated the headline from what shows in the embed title.

    Can you please fix the title to either:

    • NYPD detective on Adams’ security detail may be tied to crypto millionaire torture case: Sources (headline on article)
    • Crypto millionaire torture investigation takes shocking turn (headline in embed description)

    Thanks.
