Michael Filicetti – Niagara County Sheriff’s Department

Written by CBKN76

In 2020, Michael Filicetti, then Undersheriff and later Sheriff, was named in a lawsuit by Alexandra Matalavage, a former correction officer. Matalavage alleged that Filicetti was involved in initiating a criminal investigation against her to prevent her promotion, which she claimed was in retaliation for filing discrimination complaints. The case involved multiple EEOC charges and legal proceedings. ([casetext.com](https://casetext.com/case/matalavage-v-sheriff-of-niagara-cnty?utm_source=openai))
