Boston FBI Chief To Retire After 2 Years In The Job
BOSTON (AP) — The special agent in charge of the Boston division of the FBI is retiring after two years in the job.
Vincent Lisi has had a 26-year career with the FBI. The agency said Thursday that Lisi will retire from government service at the end of August.
Lisi has headed the Boston division since July 2013. He oversaw the counterterrorism investigations stemming from the Boston Marathon bombings, the investigation of Massachusetts state probation officials and the investigation of the former speaker of the Rhode Island House of Representatives.
Earlier in his career, he helped lead the investigation into the 2001 anthrax letter attacks.
The 51-year-old Lisi began his FBI career in 1989. He has accepted a job as a security director in the private sector.
The agency didn't say who will replace Lisi.
