Governor: Top prosecutor would be fired if it was up to me
Associated PressHARTFORD, Conn. — Gov. In his comments, Lamont also said, “I have zero tolerance for this kind of ethical malfeasance and the deputy of OPM was gone very soon.” Lamont referred to the former deputy secretary of the Office of Policy and Management, Konstantinos Diamantis, whose daughter’s hiring by Colangelo in 2020 spurred the independent investigation. The report said Colangelo hired Diamantis’ daughter while lobbying OPM officials, including Diamantis, for pay raises for prosecutors in his office. Colangelo and Konstantinos Diamantis denied discussing a job for Anastasia Diamantis beforehand, Twardy’s report said. The report also found that Colangelo, Konstantinos Diamantis and Anastasia Diamantis gave conflicting statements to certain questions by investigators that “cast doubt on the integrity of the circumstances surrounding Anastasia’s hiring.” Konstantinos Diamantis is also being investigated by the FBI and a federal grand jury in connection with hundreds of millions of dollars in state spending on school construction projects and improvements to the state pier in New London, according to a federal subpoena that was publicly released on Wednesday.
