FBI Arrests Boston City Councilor Tania Fernandes Anderson on Five Counts of Wire Fraud and Theft
Dec 6, 2024, 01:18 PM
Boston City Councilor Tania Fernandes Anderson was arrested by FBI agents on Friday morning at her Dorchester home on federal public corruption charges, including five counts of wire fraud and one count of theft related to federally funded programs. The arrest was confirmed by the U.S. Attorney’s Office of Massachusetts and FBI Boston. Anderson, who previously faced state ethics violations for hiring her sister and son, had to pay a fine for those actions. She is set to appear in the Moakley Courthouse in South Boston later in the day to answer to the charges. Anderson, the first Muslim, first African, and first former illegal alien to hold office in Boston, has pledged not to resign despite the ongoing federal investigation.
