Massachusetts: Fall River Mayor, famed recall loser/replacement race winner, sentenced to 6 years in Smartphone App defrauding case

Former Fall River Mayor Jasiel F. Correia II has been sentenced to 6 years and a fine of $311,000 after his conviction in federal court on charges that he defrauded investors for a smartphone app, plus an earlier asset forfeiture of $566,000. He was also indicted on bribery and extortion charges over his dealings with marijuana vendors, though I don't see a resolution to that case.

Correia lost a recall vote in 2018, but won his seat in the five candidate replacement race.

Correia still ran for reelection after his indicment, losing to School Board Member Paul Coogan. Correia got only 7% of the vote, had previously taken a temporary absence from the job and quit his run for another term.
