A Bronx grand jury has begun to vote on whether to bring charges to police officers accused  in the widespread ticket-fixing scandal, reports the New York Times.

Amongst those possible facing charges relating to ticket-fixing are 10 officials of the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association, including as many as seven Bronx precinct delegates and three higher-ranking police union officials from the Bronx.

The investigation into the ticket-fixing began almost three years ago, after an officer was caught on wiretap talking about the allegations of ticket-fixing.

Seventeen Bronx cops, investigated for everything from perjury to larceny to records tampering, are waiting for a decision from a grand jury Wednesday, New York Daily News.

It’s the culmination of two years of probing, gathering evidence on more than 500 cops, including wiretaps, the Daily News reports. Precincts mostly involved include the 40th, 41st, 45th, 48th and 52nd, according to the Daily News’ sources.
