The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives settled
Monday with veteran agent Vincent Cefalu in its legal termination
proceedings against him, a post on the CleanUpATF
website forum revealed. The case, presented this morning to Judge James
Donato in the United States District Court for the Northern District of
California San Francisco Division, resulted in a dismissal of ATF’s
proposal to terminate Cefalu, negative allegations expunged from his
record, mitigation of legal fees, the agent’s retirement in good
standing at the end of the month, and an undisclosed settlement*.
Cefalu had earlier won a stay in termination proceedings against him
from the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board in October 2012. Basing his
termination “on a single ... charge of lack of candor” related to his
testimony in a criminal case “cannot be sustained," the Office of
Special Counsel concluded, explaining Cefalu was sharing his opinions
under cross-examination, had “fully disclosed” his limitations while
sharing “subjective opinions based on … experience…and he was
‘sincere.’”
