"&lt;img alt=\"Brian Mulligan beat up\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/08/26/0826-mulligan-tmz-3.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's no doubt ...&amp;#160;&lt;strong&gt; Brian Mulligan&lt;/strong&gt; -- an international banking honcho -- was beaten to a pulp by the LAPD -- based on photos obtained by TMZ. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;br /&gt;Mulligan -- the Managing Director and Vice Chairman of Media for Deutsche Bank -- is unrecognizable in the pics -- with severe nasal fractures and lacerations, a concussion, a fractured right scapula, and numerous contusions and abrasions.&amp;#160; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although the LAPD claims officers beat and arrested Mulligan after he became violent and threatening ... prosecutors declined to file charges.&amp;#160; Our sources say prosecutors believe the photos are \"clear evidence of excessive force.\"&amp;#160; Indeed, Mulligan already filed a $50 million claim against the City of L.A.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TMZ first reported, Mulligan claims two LAPD cops &lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2012/08/12/deutsche-bank-honcho-brian-mulligan-suing-lapd-100-million/\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;beat him senseless&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; after wrongfully detaining him ... claiming he&amp;#160;resembled&amp;#160;a person suspected of attempted car theft.&amp;#160; Mulligan claims the officers took him to a hotel against his will and when he tried to leave officers brutally attacked him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mulligan's lawyers, J. Michael Flanagan and Valerie Wass, tell TMZ cops at the scene conceded Mulligan was NOT under the influence of drugs and they described him as &amp;#8220;calm, lucid, and cooperative.\" They tell TMZ, \"Mulligan had committed no violations of law and was not arrested. No drugs were found during a search of his person or his vehicle, and the officers found absolutely no evidence of drug use by Mulligan.\"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flanagan and Wass say cops also engaged in a cover-up, telling us, \"The two officers who inflicted the injuries on Mulligan subsequently concocted a police report in an attempt to justify their use of excessive and deadly force and to obtain a filing of criminal charges against Mulligan.\"&lt;br /&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;img alt=\"0826_mulligan_2_tmz\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/08/26/0826-mulligan-2-tmz-1.jpg\" /&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
