「喂养未来」案陪审员贿赂案宣判：法拉获刑六年半
明尼苏达州拉姆齐县圣保罗市消息：联邦法官10月30日在圣保罗对「喂养未来」福利欺诈案陪审员贿赂案被告 Said Farah 作出宣判，判处其六年半联邦监禁。
法拉现年44岁，他在该案首轮审判中被判无罪，但随后因试图贿赂陪审员而另案获罪。检方指控，法拉等人向一名陪审员提供12万美元现金，企图换取无罪判决，这名陪审员当即向当局举报了贿赂行为。主审法官 Eric Tostrud 在宣判时称赞这名陪审员是英雄，指出贿赂陪审员的行为直接威胁司法制度的完整性。
此案源于明尼苏达州近年来规模最大的联邦福利欺诈调查之一；联邦执法部门本周还宣布了新的相关指控。

Feeding Our Future Defendant Said Farah Sentenced to Six and a Half Years in Juror Bribery Scheme
In St. Paul, Ramsey County, Minnesota, a federal judge on October 30 sentenced Said Farah to six and a half years in federal prison for his role in a scheme to bribe a juror in the Feeding Our Future fraud case.
Farah, 44, had been acquitted in the first Feeding Our Future trial, but was later convicted in the bribery case. Prosecutors said Farah and others offered a juror $120,000 in cash to vote for acquittal, and the juror immediately reported the bribe to authorities. Judge Eric Tostrud praised the juror as a hero and said jury bribery threatens the integrity of the justice system.
The case stems from one of the largest federal public-assistance fraud investigations in Minnesota in recent years; federal authorities also announced new related charges this week.
