For at least three months in the summer of 2020, someone was recording John Dougherty’s conversations — and, this time, it wasn’t the FBI. It was someone in the ex-union chief's inner circle who became a confidential informant.
Labor leader John Dougherty, the former head of Local 98 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, arrives at the federal courthouse in Center City in October 2021. .For at least three months in the summer of 2020, someone was recording John J. Dougherty’s conversations — and, this time, it wasn’t the FBI.
If any of that talk got back to prosecutors, Hockeimer maintains, his client’s entire trial could have been tainted. Prosecutors have not disclosed how their new informant began sharing information with the FBI. His existence was publicly revealed for the first time earlier this month in motions filed in advance of Dougherty’s second trial, scheduled to begin May 5.mired in a payment dispute with Dougherty’s nephew, Gregory Fiocca.
Prosecutors say they intend to use that recording against Dougherty and Fiocca at trial and have characterized the union chief’s statements as an attempt to discourage anyone inside Local 98 from challenging or even questioning his decision to allow Fiocca to remain on the job site. Prosecutors have revealed that the informant began working with the FBI roughly two months before the Aug. 24, 2020, conference call — but have refused to say much else, including how long that work continued or whether he continues to provide information to investigators.
