Detroit Federal prosecutors Tuesday unsealed new criminal charges against three Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV officials accused of conspiring to cheat federal emissions tests and defraud consumers about the fuel efficiency of more than 100,000 diesel vehicles diesel vehicles.
The years-long conspiracy is outlined in an unsealed indictment of diesel senior manager Emanuele Palma, 42, of Bloomfield Hills and two Italian nationals who work for FCA Italy SpA, the Italian subsidiary of what is now Stellantis NV. They are senior diesel managers Sergio Pasini, 43, of Ferrera, Italy, and Gianluca Sabbioni, 55, of Sala Bolognese, Italy, who were responsible for developing and calibrating a 3.0-liter diesel engine used in FCA vehicles, including the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Ram 1500 models starting in 2014.
Detroit Federal prosecutors Monday fought the release of imprisoned contractor Bobby Ferguson, calling him a tyrant and saying he should spend the next 10 years behind bars for teaming with former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick to extort businessmen and corrupt city government.
Prosecutors filed a 33-page response to a request for compassionate release by Ferguson, who last month argued President Donald Trump created a sentencing disparity in January by commuting Kilpatrick s 28-year prison sentence for racketeering conspiracy. Ferguson s 21-year sentence was not commuted, and he remains incarcerated in a low-security federal prison in eastern Ohio.
Ferguson s request threatens to shorten one of the longest sentences for public corruption in U.S. history and alter punishment for participating in a racketeering conspiracy that helped push Detroit to the brink of bankruptcy. He was convicted of nine charges, including racketeering conspiracy, bribery and extortion in March 201
Kilpatrick was originally sentenced to 28 years in federal prison for a racketeering scandal that destroyed his political career and took him out of office. Ferguson got 22 years for his part in it, while others got lesser sentences. He had appealed before but did not win.
They were convicted of running a criminal enterprise from the mayor’s office in Detroit through corrupted contracts, steering city contracts toward Ferguson, and intimidating other contractors. His defense at the time argued that Ferguson’s business was honest and Kilpatrick had nothing to do with the awarding of contracts.
Kilpatrick served seven years before his sentence was commuted. That came after a lengthy campaign to get him freed from many in Detroit who felt his sentence was too harsh.
