Cop In Federal Corruption Case
Boston Police brass have told a veteran patrolman implicated in an ongoing federal corruption case to immediately resign as investigators continue to scrutinize his role in the drug-related criminal probe, the I-Team has learned.
Edgardo Rodriguez was stripped of his gun and placed on desk duty in July after three fellow officers were arrested in Miami during an undercover FBI sting and charged with protecting cocaine shipments in Boston, among other crimes.
Rodriguez, 36, declined comment when reached at his post at Area B-2 last night. His attorney, Philip A. Tracy, could not be immediately reached for comment.
Rodriguez has been under investigation for using and possibly distributing steroids. Police learned of his alleged activities during the 2 and 1/2 year long FBI corruption probe of Officers Robert Pulido, Nelson Carrasquillo and Carlos A. Pizarro.
All three have denied wrongdoing in one of the most embarrassing corruption cases to engulf the department in decades.
Pulido, the trio's suspected ringleader, is heard on FBI wiretaps giving "extensive information" about the illegal conduct of other Boston Police officers, documents in the federal case show. He is also accused of the regular distribution of steroids in the Boston area. Pulido and Rodriguez worked together in the Mobile Operations Unit. Other officers in that unit have been notified recently their voices have also been detected on the FBI wiretaps, sources told the I-Team.
Spokeswomen for the department and the U.S. Attorney's office declined comment.
