A federal grand jury is investigating
accusations of overtime fraud in the Boston Police Department, according
to two sources familiar with the matter — an inquiry that comes on the
heels of the sprawling State Police pay abuse scandal.
The investigation is focused on three
officers who worked in the department’s evidence unit, the sources said,
and centers on allegations that the officers in some cases did not work
their full four-hour overtime shifts.
The US attorney’s office said it does not confirm or deny investigations.
