Campbell painting contractor gets prison time for bribery

YOUNGSTOWN — A painting contractor who bribed a bridge inspector must do 21 months in prison and make restitution of more than $2 million to the Ohio Department of Transportation.

Anthony Katsourakis, 62, of Robinson Road, Campbell was sentenced today in federal court in Cleveland. U.S. District Judge Dan Aaron Polster set the restitution amount at $2,256,000 and ordered that Katsourakis serve two years’ supervised release once out of prison.

Katsourakis pleaded guilty in July 2006 to bribing an bridge inspector with cash and a condominium.

Judge Polster accepted Katsourakis’ plea and set sentencing for Oct. 16, 2006. The sentencing has been reset several times since then.
