FBI Investigating Possible Massey Bribes
WEST VIRGINIA....
According to a report from National Public Radio, an FBI Investigation is underway into allegations that federal mine inspectors may have taken bribes prior to the Upper Big Branch Mine explosion on April 5th. Recently, more than 20 current and former Massey workers have been interviewed by the FBI. Massey has issued a statement saying the company has no knowledge of criminal wrongdoing, and it's not uncommon that an accident the size and scope of the explosion at the Upper Big Branch Mine would lead to a comprehensive investigation by relevant law enforcement agencies. Massey Energy has offered $3 million to each of the families of 29 miners killed in the explosion.
