Prosecutors suddenly drop case against Miami attorney accused of bribing DEA agents
David Macey avoided trial through a deferred prosecution agreement despite $73,000 in payments linked to former DEA agents, with no proven quid pro quo or intent to violate policy.
- Prosecutors dropped criminal charges against Miami attorney David Macey on August 28, 2025, in Manhattan federal court.
- The charges arose from a multi-year DEA corruption probe involving bribery and leaked confidential information from two former DEA agents.
- Macey was accused of giving cash and gifts worth $73,000, including baseball tickets and condo down payment, allegedly for sensitive tips about federal indictments.
- Macey said, "I'm elated" and expressed gratitude through his attorney Shawn Crowley that "justice would not be served" by continuing prosecution.
- The deferred prosecution agreement will dismiss charges in one year if Macey complies with the law, reflecting a rare resolution partly credited to his experienced legal team.
