Tony Rackauckas and other officials interfered in multiple investigations and covered up criminal conduct by police, according to claims filed Friday by two investigators with the district attorney’s office. In their filings, Tom Conklin and Abraham Santos cited three high-profile cases that they said officials had suppressed. “DA Rackauckas transparently rewards his friends and punishes his enemies.”The district attorney’s office did not respond to a request for comment Saturday. Hunter also is one of the officials Conklin and Santos accused of misconduct. The investigators named 14 members of the district attorney’s office in their claims, including Rackauckas and several of his assistants, as well as other investigators.
