A Boston city councilor has plead guilty to federal corruption charges, after prosecutors accused her of taking most of an inflated bonus that she paid to a relative who worked for her

Boston City Councilor Tania Fernandes Anderson pleaded guilty to federal corruption charges in court on Monday after taking a $7,000 kickback from a staff member. The 46-year-old council member was charged with one count of wire fraud and theft involving federal funds.

She made history four years ago with her election to the Boston City Council, but Tania Fernandes Anderson’s tenure on that body could come to an ignominious end Monday.
