57m agoStewart Rosenwasser, a retired Orange County judge and former Orange County executive assistant district attorney, died by a self-inflicted gunshot wound during an FBI raid at his residence in Campbell Hall today, multiple official sources told News 12.
Rosenwasser was allegedly under federal investigation for tax evasion. Agents were attempting to take him into custody when shots were fired at his residence on Route 416, sources say.
News 12 first reported last week that the former official was also being sued for $22.5 million for allegedly taking bribes to prosecute a cryptocurrency case last year during a dispute involving members of a family tied to a Rockland County unsolved murder in the 70s.
The FBI issued a statement online saying the incident was an agent-involved shooting and is under review by the FBI's Inspection Division. No further details were provided.
