Nearly a dozen officers invoked their right to remain silent to one or more questions from L’Italien, according to the report. One officer admitted to filling out detail slips for two colleagues who didn’t show up for their shifts. Another officer was blunt about the lucrative opportunity in these paid detail shifts, calling the assignment a “ten-minute score,” according to notes kept by Sacco and turned over to L’Italien.
The details were paid for by Feeney Brothers, a construction company performing work for the natural gas utility National Grid. Businesses regularly pay officers for private, off-duty work that is approved and coordinated by the department.
Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan’s office has an open investigation into the allegations, spokeswoman Meghan Kelly said.
