Charles McGinty, a retired FBI agent with an impressive resume, died Thursday of unknown causes, NOLA.com reports.
He was 67.
McGinty was supervisor of a public corruption squad in the FBI’s New Orleans office when he retired in 2004.
After retiring, McGinty became a security director for Fidelity Homstead Savings Bank, where he was teaching a class when he collapsed.
McGinty, whose older brother also was an FBI agent, became one of the last agents hired by J. Edgar Hoover.
McGinty investigated public corruption and white-collar crime, and at the time of his retirement, he was finishing up a case that sent two Jefferson Parish judges to prison.
