Sources say federal agents have arrested six Philadelphia Police narcotics officers as part of an on-going corruption probe.

The officers were taken into custody early Wednesday morning at their homes, sources say.

The U.S. Attorney's Office declined to discuss the alleged racketeering charges saying they would provide more information at a Wednesday morning press conference.

All the officers, except for Speiser, face up to life in prison, officials said. For Speiser, the maximum term is 40 years. Ramsey suspended all six for 30 days with the intent to dismiss.

John McNesby, president of Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 5, said the accusations against the officers represented the worst allegations of police corruption he has seen during his seven years as union chief.

"On the scale of one to 10, from what I'm reading this is a 10," he said. "These are serious accusations, and they have to be dealt with seriously."

He said the union "does not take corruption lightly," but would review all of the facts before rushing to judgment against the officers.

"On the face of it, it looks bad, but let's let the dust settle, and see exactly what happened," McNesby said. "They all have good attorneys and they'll make the right decisions."
