Prosecutors accused a Beverly man of using his position as a top official at Keolis Commuter Services, which operates the MBTA commuter rail system, to defraud the company of money meant for repairs and maintenance for years, alongside his friend.

A former top official at Keolis Commuter Services pleaded not guilty to a slew of federal charges Wednesday after prosecutors alleged that he and another man stole more than $8 million from the company that operates the MBTA's commuter rail system.

Over a more than seven-year period, Pigsley and Rafferty allegedly defrauded Keolis of more than $4 million using false LJ Electric invoices. Joseph Bonavolonta, special agent in charge of the FBI's Boston Division, added that the alleged actions by Pigsley and Rafferty"demonstrate both a disdain for the rule of law, and a clear-cut case of greed."

"We have and will continue to take measures to prevent, detect and report fraudulent activity," Westwater said."Because this is an active criminal law enforcement matter, Keolis cannot comment further at this time." That year, the MBTA awarded Keolis a roughly $2.7 billion base contract to operate the dozen commuter rail lines linking Boston with communities to the north, west and south. The company will remain in that role through June 30, 2025 or June 30, 2026 under a contract extension the Baker administration executed.

In October 2017, Pigsley allegedly forwarded a notice that he was the highest bidder on a Bobcat E45 Mini Excavator to Rafferty with a note that read,"This ok?"
