Suspicious Fires Twice Destroyed Key Sharpton Records
by JILLIAN KAY MELCHIOR March 11, 2015
And he didnāt comply with tax and campaign filing requirements. As Al Sharpton ran for mayor of New York City in 1997 and for president in 2003, fires at his offices reportedly destroyed critical financial records, and he subsequently failed to comply with tax and campaign filing requirements.
The first fire began in the early hours of April 10, 1997, in a hair-and-nail salon one floor below Sharptonās campaign headquarters at 70 West 125th Street. From the start, investigators deemed the fire āsuspiciousā because of āa heavy volume of fire on arrivalā and because many of the doors remained unlocked after hours, according to the New York Fire Departmentās fire-and-incident report.
As the fire crept upward into Sharptonās headquarters, it destroyed nearly everything, including computers, files, and campaign records, the Reverendās spokesperson at the time told Newsday, adding that āwe have lost our entire Manhattan operation.ā But a source knowledgeable about the investigation tells National Review Online that Sharptonās office was mostly empty, and that the damage was not extensive.
Top city officials, including then-mayor Rudy Giuliani, said initial suspicions centered on the hair-and-nail salon, not on Sharptonās campaign, Newsday reported. The fire department sent the case as an arson/explosion investigation to the New York Police Department.
By the time of publication of this report, the NYPD had not provided the records requested by National Review Online on December 16, 2014, but it confirmed that the investigation had been closed without an arrest.
