JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) -- The offices of at least six Alaska legislators, including the son of Sen. Ted Stevens, were raided by federal agents searching for possible ties between the lawmakers and a large oil field services company, officials and aides said.
Tam Cook, the Legislature's top attorney, said the company named in the search warrant was VECO Corp., an Anchorage-based oil field services and construction company whose executives are major contributors to political campaigns.
Four different teams of at least six federal agents each spent hours searching offices on each floor of the Capitol.
Among the offices searched was that of Republican Senate President Ben Stevens, the son of the senior senator from Alaska. Ted Stevens' spokesman Aaron Saunders said Friday that they had no comment on the search.
