Corrupt ex-mail employee gets 18-month prison term
DETROIT (AP) -- A judge has sentenced a former U.S. Postal Service employee to 18 months in prison for taking bribes to steer truck repairs to a Detroit contractor.
Greg Gorski was the last of five people to be sentenced in the corruption case.
The government says Gorski received more than $27,000 in cash, tickets, repairs and other gifts from the owner of Metro Diesel. In return, the Detroit garage fixed mail trucks and trailers from as far away as Jackson.
The 18-month sentence last Thursday was far below the 33-month punishment sought by the government.
The owner of Metro Diesel hasn't been charged. Joe Fawaz told federal agents he was paying bribes.
His cooperation led to a very modest sentence for his wife, who was convicted in a separate fraud case.
