US fugitive Nicholas Rossi to serve at least 10 years in jail
Fugitive Nicholas Rossi, who had been on the run for the past two years, is set to serve a minimum of 10 years in jail following his arrest last week in a small town in Colorado. Rossi was wanted for a series of white-collar crimes involving embezzlement and fraud, totaling over $5 million.
Rossi, a former financial advisor, had fled the country after his crimes came to light in 2019. Authorities had been tracking his whereabouts for months before finally apprehending him. Rossi’s defense attorney stated that his client planned to cooperate with the authorities and was willing to face the consequences of his actions.
The prosecution argued that Rossi’s crimes had caused significant harm to his clients, many of whom were left in financial ruin due to his fraudulent schemes. They emphasized the need for a strict punishment to deter others from engaging in similar behavior.
Rossi, in a statement released through his attorney, expressed remorse for his actions and apologized to those affected by his crimes. He claimed that he had acted out of desperation and a misguided attempt to solve his financial problems.
The judge presiding over the case noted the severity of Rossi’s offenses and the lasting impact on the victims. The judge imposed a sentence of a minimum of 10 years in prison, with the possibility of an extension depending on Rossi’s cooperation and restitution efforts.
The case has drawn attention to the issue of white-collar crime and the importance of holding individuals accountable for financial misconduct.
