Parris added that several names are mentioned in the search warrants, and the operation is most likely tied to an ongoing fraud and corruption investigation. He said he was not notified of the operation before it happened.
Paris also said the city spent a lot of money bringing in law firms to investigate claims of fraud and corruption, but no evidence of any crime was ever uncovered.
The FBI says the warrants are sealed and cannot comment on the investigation.
