The former Fiat VP of Employee Relations, Al Iacobelli, has been indicted for donating upwards of 1 million USD to UAW (United Auto Workers) officials to be put towards mortgages, jewelry and even a $315,000 Ferrari. All of the above puts Fiat in a tough spot as the donation is in direct violation of the Labor Management Relations Act.
This is coming on the heels of Fiat’s own version of #dieselgate (admittedly on a much smaller scale) and undoubtedly has the manufacturer’s reputation taking a bit of a hit.
