Acting U.S. Attorney Ralph J. Marra, Jr. announced on Monday that Randolph Condi, 39, of Jersey City, a former Jersey City building inspector was sentenced to 13 months in federal prison for attempted extortion. In May, Condi pleaded guilty.
U.S. District Judge Stanley R. Chesler also ordered Condi to serve 3 years of supervised release upon the completion of his prison term.
Condi admitted to accepting corrupt cash payments in exchange for his agreement to expedite inspections and/or refrain from exercising his official duties as a building inspector concerning certain contracting projects being performed by government cooperating witnesses between July 2008 and January 2009. Condi had been facing a sentence of 18 to 24 months. – RK
