The Seafarers International Union has told the FBI and Prince George’s County Police Department in Maryland that it suspects the union president’s daughter embezzled hundreds of thousands of dollars from two union-linked political committees.
A NOTUS report in May revealed the union suspected Chelsea Diab of embezzling nearly $300,000 from its federal political action committees. The union confirmed the report in a recent letter to the Federal Election Commission.
“Diab initially denied wrongdoing, but subsequently acknowledged her responsibility upon being confronted with contradictory evidence” after the union initiated an internal review in October 2025, the Seafarers International Union wrote to the FEC.
