Kin Says Tierney Threw Wife ‘Under The Bus’

BOSTON (AP) — The brother-in-law of U.S. Rep John Tierney has blasted Tierney after being sentenced to three years in federal prison for his role in an illegal offshore gambling business.
Tierney’s wife, Patrice Tierney, served a 30-day prison sentence after pleading guilty to aiding and abetting the filing of false tax returns for another brother, Robert Eremian, a fugitive who has been indicted on illegal gambling and money laundering charges for running Sports Off Shore in Antigua.
Patrice Tierney testified that she and her husband did not know that Robert Eremian was running an illegal gambling operation.
Another brother, Daniel Eremian, lashed out after he was sentenced Thursday, telling the Boston Herald that for John Tierney “to throw my sister under the bus for his career was wrong.”
A spokeswoman for Tierney did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
