An Appellate Division, First Department, panel yesterday upheld the conviction and sentence of political consultant John Haggerty for stealing $1.1 million from Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Haggerty was sentenced to an aggregate prison term of 1 1/3 years and ordered to pay $750,000 in restitution in December 2011 by Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Ronald Zweibel (See Profile).
Bloomberg gave the money to the state’s Independence Party, which hired Haggerty to run a poll-watching operation. Haggerty was found to have diverted the funds to himself through a shell company. He was convicted of grand larceny and money laundering.
