The Federal Bureau of Investigation is not reporting misconduct in its Analysis and Investigations Unit (AIU), according to a report by the Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General.

“We found several instances in which the FBI could not demonstrate that the AIU — the unit that investigates and makes adjudicative recommendations on employee polygraph results — had referred all allegations of employee misconduct to the INSD [FBI Inspection Division] or the OIG so that the INSD and the OIG could determine whether to investigate the allegation,” the IG said.

The report pointed to two examples. One involved an FBI IT specialist who “admitted to using FBI equipment to view and print photographs of scantily clad adult women, some of which the employee stated depicted partially naked women.” Nonetheless, the employee wasn’t disciplined, and stayed on the job for two years before retiring with a federal pension.

The second case involved a Special Agent who admitted having a relationship with a former FBI criminal source. The agent was also accused of threatening coworkers and behaving inappropriately toward female employees. Neither the INSD or OIG were notified, and the agent is still on duty.
