Former UAW Official’s Wife Sentenced to Prison for Tax Fraud Scheme 

On July 13, 2018, Monica Morgan, the wife of the late United Auto Workers (UAW) International Vice President General Holiefield, was sentenced to 18 months in prison, fined $25,000, and ordered to pay restitution of more than $190,000, for felony tax fraud. 

Morgan owned and operated the companies Monica Morgan Photography and Wilson’s Diversified Products based in Detroit, Michigan. Morgan’s companies received hundreds of thousands of dollars from the UAW-Chrysler National Training Center during the years when Holiefield was a UAW vice president. Morgan’s companies also received significant payments from Holiefield’s charity, known as the Leave The Light On Foundation. 

Former Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) Vice President Alphons Iacobelli and former FCA Financial Analyst Jerome Durden each acknowledged using Wilson’s Diversified Products and the Leave the Light On Foundation to conceal payments made on behalf of FCA to UAW Vice President Holiefield. Both Iacobelli and Durden have previously pled guilty to their participation in the criminal conspiracy, along with former FCA executive Michael Brown and former senior UAW officials Virdell King and Keith Mickens.
