A disbarred attorney will spend about four years in prison after he pleaded guilty to stealing close to $1 million owed to an ex-NYPD police officer to cover his 9/11 related medical expenses.
Gustavo Vila represented Officer John Ferreyra of Kings Park, Long Island, in his quest for money from the September 11 Victim Compensation Fund.
Ferreyra told the judge that Vila is a devious man and a former cop.
“He was more concerned about his well-being knowing what we had been through, knowing what I had been through and again he walked the same path I did. He was there at Ground Zero,” Ferreyra said.
