From the New York Post:
General Andrew Cuomo has secretly convened a grand jury to consider bringing criminal charges in the explosive State Police scandal probe that was rocked by a suicide late last week, The Post has learned.
The grand jury, which could bring charges against several current and former State Police officials, was the source of the subpoenas issued last month by Cuomo’s office for e-mails and BlackBerry messages tied to Daniel Wiese, a onetime State Police colonel and now-suspended New York Power Authority inspector general.
The grand jury also was the source for the subpoena on Friday for the suicide note left Thursday by Gary Berwick, the former security chief for Govs. Eliot Spitzer and George Pataki and a Wiese protege, a source close to the NYPA said.
The source said an examination of the subpoena sent to the NYPA showed it originated with a grand jury under Cuomo’s control.
