EAST HAVEN, Conn. — The arrests of four police officers accused of tyrannizing Latinos could mark the start of a bigger scandal in this working-class suburb, where the FBI is targeting additional suspects. The state is preparing for the possibility of widespread arrests that could cripple the town’s Police Department.
Federal prosecutors have urged witnesses to come forward with details of abuses in East Haven, which was rocked by last week’s arrests of the officers. The FBI described them as a “cancerous cadre” that subjected Latinos to beatings and false arrests.
