BOSTON\u2014A Boston Police detective pleaded guilty today to conspiracy to obstruct a FBI investigation<\/a> related to the Academy Homes Street Gang (AHSG), a violent narcotics trafficking gang that operated out of the Academy Homes housing development in Roxbury.<\/p>\n

Brian Smigielski, 43, of Norton, pleaded guilty Wednesday.<\/p>\n

From early 2009 to 2011, the FBI and Boston Police<\/a> Department (BPD) were conducting a joint investigation into AHSG, during the initial stages of which Smigielski was the lead investigator.<\/p>\n

In late 2009, Smigielski, became upset after being ordered to turn over the investigation to the FBI and other BPD units, and thereafter, in 2010 and 2011, conspired with a fellow BPD officer and AHSG gang members to impede the FBI in its investigation of AHSG.<\/p>\n

Smigielski assisted the AHSG gang members by, among other things, informing the gang members of the FBI\u2019s pending investigation and warning them that their arrests were imminent.<\/p>\n

The charging statute provides for a sentence of no greater than five years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a fine of $250,000.<\/p>\n
