Ex-Detroit Demo Official Sentenced To Prison For Bribery
A former manager at the Detroit Building Authority will spend a year in federal prison for accepting up to $26,500 in bribes.
Aradondo Haskins was sentenced Monday after pleading guilty in April to two felonies, one of bribery and one of honest services fraud. He’ll also pay a $5,000 fine and forfeit his $26,500 kickback.
Haskins, who was previously with Detroit demo contractor Adamo, admitted to taking bribes from an executive at Environmental Specialty Services, Rich Berg, who authorities have not charged and identify only as Contractor A. In exchange, Haskins rigged bids and steered business toward the firm.
Another Adamo executive, Anthony Daguanno, was earlier this month sentenced to a year in prison for fraud in connection with Detroit's demolition program. Daguanno was fined $10,000 and was to forfeit $372,750 in bribes he took.
