Bureau of Indian Affairs agents launched an investigation into business dealings of the Mohegan Tribe of Connecticut "months ago" before handing the probe to a federal prosecutor, The Boston Globe reports.

So far, a federal grand jury has called several witnesses to testify, according to news accounts. One is former chairman Roland J. Harris, whose construction firm was paid nearly $1 million as part of the tribe's $1 billion casino expansion. Harris continued to receive payments after he sold the company.
