The NYPD, already on edge about likely indictments over fixed tickets, will be blown away by the more serious drug-profit charges, which could signal widespread corruption and even more scandal, sources said.
“Some of the officers will face charges related only to ticket fixing,” said one source with knowledge of the investigation.
“But there will be other officers who will be charged with serious crimes that grew out of the ticket- fixing investigation.
“I think people are going to be shocked by the seriousness of these crimes.”
The offenses may include “cops dealing with drug dealers and proceeds from drug sales,” and burglary.
“It’s going to be more like cops knowing where drug money is stashed and then taking the money,” a source said.
