The FBI is investigating one of its agent on allegations of accepting lavish gifts and cash from an informant, ABC World News reports.
Russian ex-mobster Mani Chulpayev, who has been indicted in the murder of popular Atlanta rapper known as Lil Phat, was an FBI informant when he said an agent demanded gifts of cash, watches, jewelry, sports shoes, basketball tickets and hotel rooms.
“The agent obstructed a murder investigation,” his lawyer, George Plumides, told ABC News in an interview.
The FBI confirmed it’s investigating.
