Paper: Grand Jury Examines Stevens Ties to Oil CoFrom the Anchorage Daily News:
A federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., heard evidence last month about the expansion of U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens’ Girdwood home in 2000 and other matters connecting Stevens to the oil services company Veco Inc….
The existence of the Washington grand jury investigation is the strongest indication to date that Stevens himself has become a subject of the wide-ranging federal probe that surfaced with FBI raids on state legislative offices last August. Former State Sen. Ben Stevens, Ted Stevens’ son, was among the legislators whose offices were searched. Ben Stevens has denied wrongdoing.
Earlier this month, Sen. Stevens admitted that the FBI has asked him to preserve records relevant to his ties to Veco.
