A former rackets bureau chief for the Nassau County District Attorney’s Office who was convicted of conspiracy in February for helping to organize a scheme to fraudulently obtain some $32 million in disability benefits has been disbarred.
Raymond Lavallee, 85, was one of four defendants charged with organizing the scheme, which prosecutors say began in 1982 and involved hundreds of applicants for Social Security Disability Insurance. There were 131 applicants who were indicted, most of whom were retirees of the New York City Police Department and the New York City Fire Department who claimed that they suffered psychiatric conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression.
