Dec 6, 2024, 12:25 PM
Boston City Councilor Tania Fernandes Anderson has been arrested by FBI agents on federal public corruption charges. The arrest occurred early Friday morning at her Dorchester home, where agents were seen outside her residence. Fernandes Anderson faces charges including wire fraud and theft related to federally funded programs. She has a history of ethical violations, having previously been fined for hiring her sister and son in violation of state ethics laws. Despite these issues, Fernandes Anderson had pledged to continue her work on the council, stating she would not resign amid the federal probe. The U.S. Attorney's Office in Boston announced a press conference to discuss the arrest, scheduled for later in the day at the federal courthouse in Boston.
