Al Iacobelli, former Fiat Chrysler labor relations executive, pleaded guilty on Monday to giving away over $1.5 million to high-up UAW members. Iacobelli admitted that the funds were given in an attempt to win the union’s favor over the course of the party’s relationship. The money was partially used to pay off the vice president of the union General Holiefield’s mortgage, who was directly responsible for negotiating with Chrysler on behalf of the workers. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy and tax violations and may face up to 8 years in a federal prison.
