Maritza Ming, the embattled $210,000 top aide to Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez, hasn’t been seen in the office for nearly a month since the The Post revealed disturbing allegations of misconduct against her, according to mystified staffers.
Ming, 51, who Gonzalez promoted in June from chief of staff to confidential executive assistant district attorney, has been missing from the office since July 25, when questions emerged about her conduct.
She is accused of making derisive comments about Jewish colleagues, failing to account for her workdays and vacation time, and misuse of staff and city cars.
In week three of her absence, eagle-eyed employees at various times spotted Ming’s office door ajar and the light turned on – but without any sign of her.
“I suspect it’s camouflage to trick people into thinking Ming is there when she’s not,” one said.
“If she’s back, she’s lying very low.”
DA spokesman Oren Yaniv refused to explain Ming’s absence: “We are not commenting on personnel matters.”
But Ming remains on the payroll, The Post confirmed.
The city Department of Investigation has the authority to investigate misuse of city resources in each of the NYC District Attorney’s offices, said spokesman Eric Lenkowitz.
He declined to comment on the allegations against Ming.
The Post’s expose’ prompted Gonzalez to launch a probe of antisemitism in his office, and to revamp the discrimination complaint process – formerly supervised by Ming.
On Friday, Yaniv would not discuss a review of Ming’s timesheets.
Staffers told The Post that Ming failed for years to properly account for her time off.
An inaccurate accounting can result in the improper accumulation of vacation time, which is paid out when an employee leaves the job.
