Five more linked to burgeoning Boston police pay fraud scandal, including former union president

Another five members of the Boston Police Department’s evidence unit have been implicated in a burgeoning overtime fraud scandal, including a former police union president and the ex-wife of the city’s most recent police commissioner, records show. Using cellphone records and forensic analysis of attendance and pay records, federal prosecutors have so far charged 13 current or former officers assigned to the evidence unit with collecting nearly $270,000 in fraudulent overtime pay over a five-year period. But court documents reviewed by the Globe show that an additional five officers were the target of federal investigators, who alleged they stole a combined $36,000 over three years. None of those five has been charged with a crime. They include Thomas Nee, the former president of the Boston Police Patrolmen’s Association, the city’s largest police union. Also implicated is Sybil Mason, the ex-wife of fired commissioner Dennis White.
