The New York Times > New York Region > Detectives Used Badges to Kill for the Mob, Indictments Say

A terrible situation, but should we be surprised that big barrels frequently contain rotten apples?

"The former detectives were charged with a racketeering conspiracy, which includes their roles in the killings, two attempted murders, obstruction of justice, money laundering and other crimes. The indictment accuses them of working as secret associates of the Luchese crime family. They are charged with disclosing the identity of six cooperating witnesses - three of whom were killed - and compromising several federal and state investigations."
