FBI, IRS searching Stevens' Girdwood house
Anchorage Daily News - (Published: July 30, 2007)
Federal law enforcement agents are currently searching the Girdwood home of Alaska U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens.
"All I can say is that agents from the FBI and IRS are currently conducting a search at that residence," said Dave Heller, the assistant special agent in charge of the FBI's Anchorage office. The search began earlier this afternoon, he said. It's the only such search warrant currently being served, he said.
Federal investigators and a grand jury looking into public corruption in Alaska have been asking questions about a 2000 remodeling project that more than doubled the size of Stevens' home -- particularly the involvment of the oil field services firm Veco. Three contractors who worked on the project told the Daily News that their records had been subpoenaed by a federal grand jury, and others connected with the work and with Stevens had been interviewed.
Maybe he's got a system of tubes to squirrel away any incriminating evidence . . . .
