What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Konstantinos Diamantis, who managed the state’s $10 billion school construction fund, was convicted by a jury of nearly two dozen charges, including extortion, bribery, and false statement. These charges stemmed from steering contracts and demanding bribes from builders while he oversaw the fund. Diamantis fled to Greece rather than appearing in U.S. District Court, where he was sentenced in absentia to seven years in prison.
