"6 Massachusetts State Police Troopers Charged in Bribery Conspiracy"

Six individuals, including current and former Massachusetts State Police troopers, have been charged in an alleged bribery scheme involving commercial driver's licenses. The troopers are accused of falsifying records and providing passing scores to unqualified applicants in exchange for bribes, using code words like "golden" to identify them. The scheme involved civilians as well, and the troopers allegedly received benefits such as driveway repaving and a snowblower. This case is the latest in a series of misconduct incidents involving the Massachusetts State Police, including an overtime fraud scheme and criticism of the commercial driver's license system.
