"Corruption Unveiled: Massachusetts State Troopers Charged in Bribery Scandal"

Four Massachusetts State Police troopers and two civilians have been charged in an alleged bribery scheme to provide passing scores to commercial driver’s license applicants in exchange for kickbacks, including a driveway makeover, snowblower, and high-end bottled water. The troopers are accused of falsifying results on basic skills tests for CDL applicants, with one trooper receiving personal benefits such as a driveway makeover, snowblower, and various goods. The indictment alleges that the troopers conspired to give preferential treatment to at least 17 CDL applicants and used code words to identify those who received special treatment. The State Police Association of Massachusetts expressed disappointment and emphasized the importance of public trust in law enforcement.
