Another theft of wages and abuse allegation against Merkourious (Mike) Angeliades, Melina Kazanas, Manny (Emmanuel), Phaedra Kazanas, and Liberty (Libby) Angeliades…. “On Thursday, Danilo Mera filed a class action complaint in the Southern District of New York against four LLCs and two individuals, alleging violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), New York Labor Laws and New York Human Rights Laws.”

“According to the complaint, KYMA Hudson LLC, KYM NYC LLC, Old Northern Boulevard Restaurant LLC and 217 W85 LLC (corporate defendants) are four Greek taverna-inspired restaurants in New York City that are owned and operated by Merkourios Angeliades and Steve Tenedios (individual defendants). Additionally, the complaint states that the individual defendants operate the four restaurants as a single, integrated enterprise. “

And for these individuals the Nassau County District Attorney’s Office withholds discovery exonerating defendants, but for the following individuals nothing. Does the attention that the Nassau County District Attorney gives to certain individuals have anything to do with money and political contributions? Please see “google” for further information.

I was asked to come to a precinct to make a statement about a lady that was harassing me. When I went down to the station they slapped handcuffs on me and put me in a cell. Was never told i was arrested nor was I read my rights. As you can imagine there is a retired cop in their family. 2 years later I
still have not been asked for my statement as to what happened, they told me i watch to much television. What a joke8

Dont expect police protection if you plan to visit the area as law enforcement arent permitted to do their job….and if they do, they are charged with a crime. This has to be a socialist/liberal office as who else would defend the criminal and condemn a keeper of peace. This is beyond ignorant.6

This Da office does nothing to protect people that are scared but only go against poor innocent people that can’t protect themselves. When they made a mistake they don’t even have the decency to apologize like pigs. They are pathetic in every aspect.16

What is the Nassau County D.A.’s office doing as they promise on Facebook. Once again promises broken.
