Nine former Drug Enforcement Administration agents and three former
New York City detectives have filed suit against convicted dope lord
'American Gangster' Frank Lucas and New York Magazine charging they
were libeled by Lucas' assertions that the narcotics officers stole "9
to 10 million dollars" during a search of his posh home in 1975.

This is the second attempt the agents have made to sue over Lucas
related allegations. An earlier suit against NBC Universal was
dismissed by the federal court in New York. It charged the agents were
defamed in the closing credits of the movie "American Gangster" which
asserted that the narcotics cops involved in the Lucas case were
corrupt. The suit is currently on appeal.
