| Former State Assemblyman Pleads Guilty To Fraud |
| 2009-06-25 |
| Former Queens Assemblyman Anthony Seminerio pleaded guilty today to fraud charges. Seminerio, who resigned yesterday, could face up to 13 years in prison when he is sentenced in Manhattan federal court on Oct. 20. He remains free on bond. Seminerio, 74, who has been an assemblyman for over 30 years, allegedly took $1 million from various companies doing business with the state, creating a fake consulting firm in 2000 to hide those payments. Seminerio, a Democrat, also faces as much as a $175,000 fine for his involvement in the alleged wrongdoing. |
