One of the police officers interrogated in the first episode of HBO's 'We Own this City' was Momodu 'G Money' Gondo. The former Gun Trace Task Force (GTTF) officer was one of the eight members charged with robbery, racketeering, extortion, and overtime fraud. The series, based on Justin Fenton's book of the same name follows the rise and fall of the crack unit in Baltimore while also shedding light on the extensive investigation that bought their corruption to light.

Gondo was the seventh officer to be indicted for robbery, distribution of heroin, and overtime fraud. He even plead guilty to admitting to helping these dealers in 2016. Then, 36, Gondo, after being sentenced to 10 years and serving his time in a federal prison said, "I am truly remorseful. I apologize to the citizens of Baltimore for creating distrust. This has been a learning experience."

Who is Momodu 'G Money' Gondo, and where is he now?

Known as Momodu Bondeva Kenton Gondo, the Owings Mills man migrated to the United States from Sierra Leone and settled down in Baltimore. Gondo joined the BPD in 2005 and was roped into the GTTF after fellow officer Jemell Rayam (One of the officers serving his time as well) highly recommended him. The duo knew each other since their days in the academy. 

His corrupt acts were discovered when a suspect dealer's phone was tapped in 2015, and the investigators also uncovered evidence of Gondo robbing citizens. During his trial, he confessed to stealing money in 2008. Talking about his indictment, U.S. Attorney Robert Hur shed light on the sentencing. Per WBALTV, he said, "It's enticing. You are dealing with a dope dealer. Who is going to believe him? It's not like he earned this money. It's $400,000 that's off the streets from selling drugs, so it's not inherently evil for these officers to snatch a part of it and put it in their pocket."

Gondo is serving his sentence at the FCI Butner Low in Bunter, North Carolina.
