‘Bogus 9/11 Charity’ Truck Donated for Fallen Port Authority Police

Paul J. Sansone Sr. the chief executive officer of Sansone Auto Group, will donate on Tuesday the Ford pickup truck used in a bogus 9/11 charity to the Port Authority Police Benevolent Association, according to a release.

The red pickup truck was implicated in an alleged scam in August 2012 as part of a false 9/11 charity, Patch previously reported.

Sansone will donate the truck to the PAPBA at Sansone Auto Group on Route 1 in Avenel in honor of the 37 fallen Port Authority policy officers who lost their lives on 9/11.

Michael DeFilippis, second vice president of the Port Authority Police Benevolent Association, which represented the officers, will join Sansone.
