前北美国际联盟的前参谋长因未经授权使用Liuna提供的信用卡而从工会中窃取了近17万美元的指控，并犯有司法部的医疗保健欺诈行为。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.

DOJ said that Bennett, 49, of Alexandria, Va., was chief of staff at the laborers’ union’s Washington, D.C., headquarters for about four years, ending in October 2016.

司法部于1月19日宣布的起诉书指出，贝内特从2014年1月至2016年10月在其工会发行的信用卡上发表了许多未经授权的指控，总计约168,000美元。

美国地方法院提交的起诉书,the District of Columbia, alleges that he charged personal trips to Las Vegas, New York City and Orlando; boat-slip expenses for his boat; more than $33,000 in Washington hotel and restaurant expenses; and personal electronics, furniture, antiques and other items for his home, DOJ said.

其他alleged credit-card charges include private-school tuition and what DOJ called “lavish jewelry, luxury wristwatches and gold-flecked makeup.”

Also indicted on charges of health-care fraud and health-care fraud conspiracy was Aimee Occhetti, an attorney, of the Villages, Fla. DOJ said Bennett allegedly arranged to have Occhetti put on LIUNA’s health-care plan, although she wasn’t a full-time union employee and thus not eligible for the coverage. Occhetti allegedly received more than $66,000 in medical reimbursements to which she wasn’t entitled, according to the indictment.

In an statement emailed to ENR, the union said, "LIUNA has and will continue to cooperate fully with the government in this matter."

ENR was unable to locate Roderick Bennett for comment.

LIUNA is one of the largest construction unions, representing more than 580,000 workers in the U.S. and Canada.
