The U.S. Department of Justice has subpoenaed Globe Life Inc. and its subsidiary American Income Life seeking documents related to one of its top life insurance agencies — the Pittsburgh-based Arias Organization, according to an internal Globe document. In my Business Insider articles published in 2023, former agents described a culture at Arias of customer abuses and sexual harassment, including multiple allegations of sexual assault on the job.

The internal document, written by Globe’s general counsel Joel Scarborough, said the subpoenas seek information about internal investigations, life insurance policyholders, customer payment information and files about insurance policies written in 2022 by Arias.

Although the Scarborough document was sent to an unspecified AIL “Distribution List” on Jan. 22, Globe made no mention of the DOJ probe during its quarterly earnings call on Feb. 8.  You can read today’s story here.
