Federal prosecutors recommend two-year sentence for former UAW President Dennis Williams for fraud and corruption
Federal prosecutors are requesting a 24-month sentence for the disgraced ex-president of the United Auto Workers, Dennis Williams, for his use of hundreds of thousands of dollars in corporate cash and workers dues money to finance lavish getaways for himself and his fellow union bureaucrats, court filings revealed on Monday.
Williams is one of 14 UAW officials and corporate executives to have been charged in a years-long federal corruption probe. Williams pleaded guilty last October to federal charges, which would have carried a maximum sentence of five years. However, the terms of his plea deal capped his sentence at two years.
