[NYPOST] FBI special agents arrested embattled Boston councilor Tania Fernandes Anderson for an alleged kickback scheme in which she pocketed thousands in cash from a staffer in exchange for a large bonus
Fernandes Anderson was seen being taken into custody by federal authorities outside of her home in Dorchester on Friday morning, WCVB reported. She is expected to appear in court later this afternoon.
In late 2022, the councilor hired a relative to be on her staff and then defrauded the city when she finagled a deal with the staffer to receive ''additional compensation but would kickback most of this bonus pay,'' according to a court filing by the US Attorney's Office in Massachusetts.
