http://www.boston.com/news/local/breaking_news/2009/05/former_gop_offi.htmlThe former vice chairman of the Massachusetts Republican State Committee received a seven-year prison term today in a federal money-laundering case after he pleaded guilty three months ago to cleansing drug profits for a legal client.
Judge Richard G. Stearns chastised Lawrence P. Novak during sentencing in US District Court, saying, "you are first of all a lawyer'' and "what you did is unforgivable.''
Novak will have to serve seven years and three months in prison, spend two years on supervised release afterward, and pay a $20,000 fine. Authorities arrested Novak in 2005 after investigators said he offered to launder drug profits for his client, Scott Holyoke. The charges were unrelated to Novak's role in the Republican Party, and he resigned his post as vice chairman after his arrest.
