Albuquerque Police Corruption Investigation: What We Know So Far

It has been called possibly the biggest police corruption case in Albuquerque; an alleged scheme linking officers within the Albuquerque Police Department's DWI unit and a local defense attorney. News 13 has learned federal investigators are looking into accusations that officers were getting paid to get DWI cases dismissed. This week, members of the KRQE Investigates team break down what we’ve learned so far about this investigation, including how officers may have mishandled DWI cases.

How does money come into play? How are officers and the defense attorney linked? Ann Pierret shares what she and Curtis Segarra, KRQE’s Investigative Digital Data Reporter, have learned from the numbers. Gabby also shares more about the bombshell recording from her recent reporting that reveals how the alleged scheme may have worked.
