EAST CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - A local organization will hold a press conference Friday to expose alleged corruption in the city of East Cleveland.

Chasing Justice LLC said officials are aware of illegal practices within the city government and police department.

Claims by the organization include:

• Hiring of an auxiliary officer who did not attend basic training and is not appointed a peace officer by the state
• Unlawful prosecution of Dominique Campbell
• Assault of citizens by police officers caught on camera
• Improper distribution of city money

Chasing Justice LLC said they are “seeking the arrest of certain persons within the police department who have assaulted citizens and violated civil and constitutional rights.”

The organization said affidavits were filed Friday morning with East Cleveland courts.
