Vince McMahon, the boss of World Wrestling Entertainment who recently re-joined the company’s board following sexual misconduct allegations, had his home searched by federal authorities.

McMahon was also served with a federal grand jury subpoena last month, the WWE disclosed Wednesday. The company noted that no charges have been filed yet.

McMahon returned to the board of the WWE several months after he was ousted for allegations of sexual misconduct. And a report from The Wall Street Journal revealed McMahon paid up more than $12 million over the course of 16 years to keep the allegations secret.

One of those allegations came from a former paralegal who said McMahon sexually harassed her, then paid her $3 million to stay quiet.

Along with Wednesday’s new revelations, the WWE also disclosed that McMahon underwent spinal surgery last month, and “will remain on medical leave until further notice.”
