Boston City Councilor Arrested by FBI on Federal Corruption Charges

Tania Fernandes Anderson

Boston City Councilor Tania Fernandes Anderson was arrested on December 6 by the FBI on 5 counts of wire fraud and one count of theft regarding programs receiving federal funds. She is accused of a kickback scheme to obtain thousands of dollars to enrich herself and her family.

Most of her “multilingual” ability seems to be four-letter words. Just saying.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

The US District attorney’s office stated:

“The FBI arrested Boston City Councilor Tania Fernandes Anderson today for allegedly orchestrating a kickback scheme in which she stole thousands of dollars in taxpayer money for herself,” said Jodi Cohen, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Boston Division. “Using public office for personal gain is a crime. Her behavior, as alleged in today’s indictment, is a slap in the face to the hardworking taxpayers in the city of Boston who have every right to expect that the city’s funds are in good and honest hands. This case illustrates how the FBI, and our partners are working hard every day to battle public corruption and the corrosive damage it does to people’s faith in government.”…

According to court documents, in or about 2022, Fernandes Anderson hired two members of her immediate family as salaried employees of her City Councilor Staff. Because City Councilors are prohibited by law from hiring immediate family members to their paid staff, Fernandes Anderson was required to terminate their salaried employment in or about August 2022. Additionally, from in or about March 2023 to May 2023, the Massachusetts State Ethics Commission notified Fernandes Anderson of its findings and that it would be seeking a $5,000 civil penalty payment from her.

According to the indictment, Staff Member A was a relative of Fernandes Anderson but was not an immediate family member. In or about November 2022, Fernandes Anderson allegedly emailed a City of Boston employee regarding her hiring of Staff Member A as a salaried employee, falsely representing that she and Staff Member A were not related:

According to the Feds, Anderson was in financial difficulty. She told her relative that she’d give her a $13,000 bonus, but that she’d have to give a portion of the bonus back to her. She faces 20 years in Federal prison for the 6 corruption charges.

Tania Fernandes Anderson is from Africa – she came to the United States originally as an illegal alien but eventually received citizenship. She is a volatile Muslim and has espoused BLM causes as well as advocates for open borders.
