Police Detective Robert Pasquale Bentivegna<\/strong> has pleaded guilty to disclosing sensitive law enforcement information in exchange for receiving kickbacks for him and his family, federal officials said.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt is a sad day when a career law enforcement officer turns his back on decades of public service by selling his access to sensitive law enforcement information,\u201d said <strong>Acting U.S. Attorney John Horn.<\/strong> \u201cBentivegna\u2019s conduct undermines trust in law enforcement and could have exposed the public to significant harm.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In exchange for information, officials said over the course of approximately 18 months, Bentivegna received airline tickets for himself and his wife to travel to New York, his daughter received a convertible car which she used for over a year, and his son received a car to drive for a period of time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bentivegna<\/strong>, 64, of <strong>Woodstock, Georgia<\/strong>, pleaded guilty to computer fraud for accessing information in the<strong> Georgia Crime Information Center or CIC<\/strong> database for an improper purpose.<\/p>\n<p>He is scheduled to be sentenced in June.<\/p>\n<p><strong>According to Acting U.S. Attorney Horn, these are the charges and other information presented in court:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In July 2011, Bentivegna, a career law enforcement officer employed at the time with the Dunwoody, Georgia, Police Department and who had also served as a federal task force officer, began using an individual connected with a variety of illegal activities as a confidential informant.<\/p>\n<p>In exchange for valuable personal items for himself and his family, Bentivegna performed searches and informed the confidential informant about any active arrest warrants listed under the informant\u2019s name in the <strong>\u00a0GCIC<\/strong> \u00a0database.<\/p>\n<p>Such information can be valuable information to criminals, allowing them to flee before authorities can arrest them.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10281\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10281\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption
