More than two dozen people have been indicted in the rapidly expanding federal bribery investigation into the D.C. taxi industry, the Post’s Del Quentin Wilber is reporting. That’s a whole lotta people. So who, besides Ted Loza, are they? They’re “cab drivers or others with financial ties to the industry,” most of whom will probably be arrested today, according to anonymous sources. Keep your eye out for handcuffed cab drivers this afternoon!

And here’s the first answer we’ve seen to the big question of just who tipped off the feds to this bribery ring in the first place: Wilber writes that a member of the D.C. Taxicab Commission was the individual who first alerted authorities and ended up wearing a wire. No word on which of the eight members of the commission this was.

Also crucial is confirmation that “Individual #1” in the Loza indictment, Abdulaziz Kamus, was indeed reportedly working as an FBI informant.
