Two Brooklyn motor-vehicle inspectors were busted for allegedly forging emission tests for diesel trucks, authorities said yesterday.
Mark Asselta, 46, owner of a Bushwick repair shop, and Shlomo Freedman, 54, owner of a South Williamsburg shop, were arrested and arraigned in Brooklyn Criminal Court yesterday after an undercover investigation by the state Attorney General’s Office.
The men allegedly gave safety and emission certificates to diesel trucks they hadn’t even tested.
When undercover investigators drove a truck rigged to fail a test to each repair shop, the shops allegedly issued certification without performing any tests.
