Former Federal Drug Agents Sue Over Their Depiction in Film "American Gangster"
NEW YORK (AP) -- A group of retired federal drug enforcement agents sued NBC Universal on Wednesday, saying the movie "American Gangster" falsely portrayed them as villains in the story of a Harlem heroin trafficker.
The suit, filed in federal court in Manhattan, claims that the movie defamed hundreds of DEA agents and New York City police officers by claiming at the end that Frank Lucas' collaboration with prosecutors "led to the convictions of three-quarters of New York City's Drug Enforcement Agency."
Denzel Washington acted Lucas in the film. You can find out more on: http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080116/american_gangster_lawsuit.html
