The U.S. Dept. of Justice says Jeffery Pietrzyk, a former United Auto Workers union official, is expected to plead guilty on Oct. 22 to wire fraud and money laundering.
Pietrzyk is the 11th person charged with wrongdoing in a continuing federal criminal investigation into corruption involving the UAW and U.S. carmakers. The probe centers on schemes to divert funds intended for employee training centers operated with the UAW at Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and General Motors.
Federal prosecutors say Pietrzyk conspired with Michael Grimes and other UAW officials to wring kickbacks from a GM vendor for contracts to supply jackets and backpacks for UAW members employed by GM. Grimes pleaded guilty last month.
