The case involving two New York Police Department officers has raised eyebrows as they may be linked to a disturbing torture incident in the upscale SoHo area of Manhattan. 

The NYPD confirmed to Fox News Digital that its officers “were modified” and “the matter is under internal review.”

The issue involves two detectives, one of whom reportedly served on Mayor Eric Adams’ security detail, the New York Post reported.

The case at the heart of the scandal is tied to two men who allegedly tortured an Italian cryptocurrency millionaire in a New York City townhouse.

Woeltz was arrested last Friday, just after the man escaped. Duplessie turned himself in on Tuesday. 

The latter was reported to have appeared before a judge in a Manhattan courtroom on Friday, awaiting formal indictment. He remains detained without bail. 

Fox News’ Michael Dorgan and Greg Norman contributed to this report.
