FBI raids home of United Auto Workers Union president as part of expanding corruption probe.
The FBI launched a series of raids in four states on Wednesday — including the home of Gary Jones, president of the United Auto Workers Union — as part of an expanding corruption probe.
The FBI confirmed it is searching a house in the Detroit suburb of Canton. While authorities declined to offer details, the house belongs to Gary Jones, a union veteran who was elected the UAW’s president in June 2018. The corruption probe has been underway for four years, but broke into the headlines when 65-year-old Virdell King was indicted in August 2017. She was accused by the the Department of Justice of taking part in a multiyear conspiracy for UAW officials to accept money and items of value from FCA between 2011 and 2015. Since then, federal prosecutors have brought down eight additional indictments and won eight convictions in the case.
