Gergely, 48, a Democrat from Allegheny County who served in the state House for seven terms, is set to appear in court Monday for his sentencing on charges of conspiracy and violating the state’s campaign finance laws on cash contributions.
He was forced to step down from his state House seat in November as a condition of a plea deal he entered in August for the two misdemeanor charges.
Gergely was accused of working in tandem with liquor attorney Louis Caputo and using his position to enrich and “protect” Ronald “Porky” Melocchi – a former owner of video gaming machines.
He reportedly exerted his influence to convince business owners, skeptical of gambling, to install machines owned by Melocchi.
