Boston City Councilor Tania Fernandes Anderson was captured on surveillance moving furniture out of her office just days before announcing a guilty plea to federal charges of wire fraud and theft. Prosecutors allege she arranged for her relative to receive a $13,000 bonus, of which she unlawfully collected $7,000. Facing a potential year of jail time and a financial penalty, this incident adds to concerns over her hiring practices, including employing family members.
Fernandes Anderson, seen in surveillance footage moving furniture from City Hall before pleading guilty to charges, faces a year in jail and restitution.
