Traficant sentenced to eight years in prison
Exiled former congressman James A. Traficant Jr. received an eight year term for bribery, tax evasion, and racketeering after a trial that featured his defiant defense. He was jailed immediately and vowed to run for re election from prison, aiming to win despite the conviction. The judge fined him 150000 dollars and ordered forfeiture of 96000 dollars. Traficant asserted he committed no crime and plans to seek re election from Ohio custody.
