The information has been independently confirmed by Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents, who had worked on the case dressed up as immigrants. So far, eleven officers have been charged, but the investigation is continuing. The Chicago police have officially turned to the community for help in identifying suspects. According to the US immigration office, there are 70,000 illegal Polish immigrants in America. (Zycie, page 10)
