Federal agents searched the home of the president of the United Auto Workers union as part of an ongoing probe of alleged corruption involving the union and at least one of the nation's unionized automakers
The years-long probe has already led to charges against nine people with ties to the union and Fiat Chrysler. Eight of those charged have pled guilty and been sentenced; charges are pending against the ninth. Agents of the FBI searched the suburban Detroit home of UAW President Gary Jones as well as UAW Black Lake Conference Center, a retreat on 1,000 heavily-wooded acres on the shore of a northern Michigan lake, and locations in at least three other states, an FBI spokesperson confirmed to CNN.
"UAW Vice President Norwood Jewell, who once headed negotiations with Fiat Chrysler, pleaded guilty in April to accepting, arranging and approving illegal payments from Fiat Chrysler executives to high-level union officials. Fiat Chrysler Vice President for Employee Relations Alphons Iacobelli also pleaded guilty in the conspiracy, as did six others.
