Puerto Rico-"the biggest police corruption investigation in the history of the FBI".
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-11489547
<snip>
In all more than 120 people have been charged, including prison guards and soldiers.

The US justice department said the arrests followed "the biggest police corruption investigation in the history of the FBI".

About 750 FBI agents were flown into the US Caribbean territory to help round up the suspects.

The justice department said that in all, 89 law enforcement officials had been detained: 60 members of the Puerto Rico police department, 16 municipal police officers and 12 prison officers. Also arrested were three Puerto Rico national guard soldiers, two US army officers, and 30 civilians.

-----------
Last week they arrested several postmen - looks like all those public sector layoffs were supplemented with drug trafficking.
