Vincent Lisi, who has served in numerous jobs as an FBI agent since 1989, has been named the new leader of the agency’s Boston office, the Associated Press reports.
FBI Director Robert Mueller announced Wednesday that Lisi would replace Richard DesLauriers, who is retiring after more than 26 years with the FBI.
Most recently, Lisi served as deputy assistant director of the Counterintelligence Division in Washington D.C.
He also helped investigate the 2001 Anthrax attacks and served as a legal attache in Yemen.
DesLauriers headed the office during the deadly Boston Marathon bombings.
