...barring Carey from running again, federal monitor Kenneth Conboy said the Teamsters boss was a party to illegal schemes to funnel nearly $900,000 of union funds to the 1996 campaign in which he narrowly defeated challenger James P. Hoffa. The explosive ruling followed guilty pleas last September by three Carey aides, including Michael Ansara, a co-founder of the radical Students for a Democratic Society at Harvard in the 1960s, who admitted to helping shift $95,000 of union dues into Carey's coffers.

...Since his campaign manager and two other aides plead guilty to the scheme on Sept. 18, Carey has claimed that his subordinates acted without his knowledge. In his decision, however, Judge Conboy disagreed, finding "substantive additional information with respect to Mr. Carey?s knowledge of certain of these improper schemes," with most of that evidence coming from the testimony of the indicted aides...
