Freda Brasfield, the Administration and Finance Director in Boston Mayor Michelle Wu’s office, was arraigned Friday on money laundering charges in an alleged prison drug smuggling scheme.
Brasfield, who is also a longtime Boston Democratic political activist and community organizer, appeared in Woburn Superior Court, along with two co-defendants, Jaime Liberty and Jayleen Rivera, both of whom are facing charges of conspiring to smuggle drugs into MCI Shirley.
Brasfield, who is represented by Boston attorney David Meier, entered a plea of not guilty to one charge of money laundering and a charge of conspiracy to commit money laundering.
Brasfield, Liberty, and Rivera were released on personal recognizance.
According to records on file at Woburn Superior Court, a grand jury indicted Freda Brasfield on Dec. 15, 2022.
Prosecutors allege the smuggling scheme stretches back to January 2021 and that it involved a conspiracy to smuggle synthetic cannabinoids known as K2 and Spice into MCI Shirley. Prosecutors say it involved four inmates, including Brasfield’s nephew, and five “non-incarcerated relations or significant others,” including Freda Brasfield.
According to the Commonwealth’s Statement of the Case, Manuel “Junior” Dasilva, a former MCI Shirley inmate, worked with the nine co-defendants to get synthetic drugs inside MCI Shirley.
The use of synthetic drugs is a growing problem inside the Massachusetts prison system.

My word, she truly does look stupid.

But allowed to keep working/collecting a pay check under @MayorWu until today? City Hall failed to respond to @boston25 in a timely fashion. So much for #transparency Michelle Wu.

Putting thief in charge of finances! Great!
Community Organizer.
The government officials generally operate in secret while the government has unrestricted access and employs surveillance of the public. Only when government officials act on an egregiously illegal manner do they get caught.
It’s even worse with federal agencies. Federal FOIAs are nearly impossible for regular citizens.
Looks like Aretha Franklin.

They are all corrupt! If you want to know why our taxes are so high, look at all the corrupt politicians and their cronies. (See Biden family for Exhibit A).
