BOSTON – A Boston Fire Department District Chief has been found guilty on procurement fraud and larceny charges in connection with two illicit schemes to enrich himself, Attorney General Maura Healey announced today.

Between 2008 and 2011, Scigliano used two separate schemes to enrich himself, including one in which he profited from checks from an emergency vehicle vendor that did business with the BFD, and another scheme to personally profit from items purchased by an equipment vendor used to supply the department.

The investigation revealed that Scigliano personally profited from checks from Greenwood Emergency Vehicles, Inc. (Greenwood), a fire apparatus and ambulance dealership that supplied fire trucks to the BFD. He was the principal contact between the BFD and Greenwood with regard to the acquisition of fire trucks.
