A Boston city councilwoman agreed Tuesday to plead guilty to federal public corruption charges after allegedly using an inflated bonus to pay a relative in a kickback scheme.

Democrat Tania Fernandes Anderson was arrested by FBI agents in December on six felony charges, including five counts of wire fraud and one count of theft concerning federally funded programs related to the alleged kickback scheme that earned her thousands of taxpayer dollars.
