“There is perhaps no single state agency that impacts the daily lives of the millions of people who live and work in the greater Boston area more than the MBTA. Over the last few years, T ridership has had to endure its fair share of both acute and chronic issues. Today, unfortunately, we add fraud to that list," U.S. Attorney Rachael Rollins said in a statement.
The man in charge of major construction projects at the MBTA over the past several years is out as the agency falls under new leadership. Between July 2014 and November 2021, prosecutors said Pigsley and Rafferty defrauded Keolis of over $4 million through a false LJ Electric invoicing scheme. They said Rafferty purchased vehicles, construction equipment, construction supplies and other items for Pigsley, Pigman Group and others, and Pigsley directed Rafferty to recover the cost of these items by submitting false and fraudulent LJ Electric invoices to Keolis.
