Former Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano was re-sentenced to 10 years in prison on Sept. 23, following a series of delays and an appeals court ruling that overturned two of his corruption convictions.
Mangano, 64, was originally sentenced to 12 years in prison and has served about four years. He participated in Wednesday’s resentencing by Zoom from the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ Devens Medical Center in Massachusetts. His attorneys appeared in court on his behalf.
The resentencing followed an appeals court decision that overturned two convictions stemming from Mangano’s alleged role in helping restaurateur Harendra Singh obtain millions of dollars in loans backed by the Town of Oyster Bay.
Mangano was convicted in 2019 of accepting bribes in connection with the loans. The appeals court overturned the two convictions because Mangano was not an Oyster Bay town official, while upholding his other convictions.
Singh was at the center of the corruption case involving Mangano and Oyster Bay.
Prosecutors argued that Singh used his personal relationship with Mangano to obtain government contracts and town-backed loans.
Prosecutors also presented evidence that Singh provided gifts and other benefits to Mangano and his family after Mangano took office. Those included a high-paying job for Mangano’s wife, free meals, luxury flooring and a watch.
Mangano served as Nassau County executive from 2010 through 2017 before his arrest on federal corruption charges. He was convicted in 2019 following a federal trial.
