The Manhattan District Attorney’s office in New York City has dropped charges against Henry Chlupsa, former president of city-based D&B Engineers & Architects, Woodbury, N.Y., stemming from a broad construction fraud criminal case ongoing since 2018.
In a May 4 court filing, the D.A.’s office acknowledged it had mishandled evidence against Chlupsa, 77; it also vacated his November conviction on five lesser bribery and corruption charges for which he was sentenced to five years probation and fined $15,000. That latter step is subject to state court approval.
