The Wall Street Journal reports:
A federal judge on Monday sentenced a Florida businessman to a year and a day in prison for lying to federal election authorities and for duping investors in a fraud-insurance company after convictions that stemmed from a sweeping investigation that ensnared several associates of Rudy Giuliani.
David Correia pleaded guilty last fall to one count of making false statements to the Federal Election Commission about the source of a $325,000 donation to a pro-Trump super PAC and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection with the fraud-insurance company, Fraud Guarantee.
Reuters reports:
Correia was also ordered to forfeit $43,650, and pay $2.32 million of restitution. “I feel true remorse for my previous actions,” the married father of two said before being sentenced. “These actions do not reflect what I want to be in life and I will never repeat them.”
They had worked with Giuliani to dig up damaging information about President Joe Biden, who was then running for the White House, and his son Hunter.
Lev Parnas, who later broke with Giuliani, and Igor Fruman were also charged over a scheme to channel donations to U.S. politicians from a Russian businessman to support a legal marijuana business.
