John Trasacco's sentence is the longest so far in federal corruption probe. Former state Rep. Michael DiMassa is to be sentenced April 26.
Federal prosecutors and defense attorneys delivered their closing arguments on Thursday as part of a high-profile criminal trial that included allegations about kickbacks, bogus invoices, shell companies and a massive level of fraud within the West Haven city government.
Federal prosecutors called DiMassa as a witness on Monday in an attempt to prove their case against John Trasacco, a Branford resident who allegedly conspired with DiMassa to steal more than $430,000 from the city.
