Baltimore ex-mayor enters guilty pleas in fraud case
|
[APNEWS] The disgraced former
DEMOCRAT
mayor of Baltimore pleaded guilty Thursday to federal conspiracy and tax evasion charges involving sales of her self-published children’s books, a case that exposed anew the depths of corruption in Maryland’s largest city.
Catherine Pugh pleaded guilty in federal court in Baltimore to conspiracy to commit wire fraud, conspiracy to defraud the government and two counts of tax evasion. She pleaded not guilty
"Wudn't me."
to seven counts of wire fraud that were included in the indictment unsealed a day earlier.
The case centered on sales of her self-published "Healthy Holly" books to nonprofits and foundations to promote her political career and fund her run for mayor. Pugh, a veteran Democratic politician who was elected mayor in 2016, resigned under pressure in May.
At least it made the second third paragraph
Pugh faces up to 35 years in prison at her scheduled Feb. 27 sentencing. U.S. Attorney Robert Hur said she could be sentenced to about five years based on sentencing guidelines, but a judge would make the final determination. Hur added that Pugh’s admissions of guilt "demonstrated that she betrayed the trust placed on her."
