The former chief of staff for the Laborers’ International Union of North America has been indicted on charges of stealing nearly $170,000 from the union through unauthorized use of a LIUNA-provided credit card and of committing health-care fraud, the Dept. of Justice says.
A grand jury in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 18 handed up a five-count indictment against Roderick Marvin Bennett that includes three counts of embezzlement from a labor organization, as well as one count of health-care fraud conspiracy and one count of health-care fraud.
