BOSTON (WHDH) – Embattled Boston City Councilor Tania Fernandes Anderson pleaded guilty to federal corruption charges Monday.
Fernandes Anderson pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud and one count of theft from a program receiving federal funding. She says she will resign from her position and is asking her supporters for forgiveness.
She is accused of taking a $7,000 kickback from a family member who she hired. They are excused of exchanging the money in a bathroom at Boston City Hall.
She was arrested and indicted by a federal grand jury last December. She originally pleaded not guilty.
