Prosecutors allege that Tania Fernandes Anderson designed a kickback scheme involving her family member, wherein she secured a bonus for the staffer with an agreement to return $7,000.
U.S. Attorney Joshua S. Levy emphasized that public officials, like Fernandes Anderson, must uphold integrity, stating that those who exploit taxpayer funds undermine public trust.
Despite the ongoing investigation and arrest, Fernandes Anderson, who serves Boston's District 7, acknowledged the situation but indicated she has no plans to resign.
Following her arrest, Tania Fernandes Anderson faced charges including wire fraud and theft, and she entered a plea of not guilty in federal court.
