BALTIMORE —Federal prosecutors are recommending a sentence of almost five years in prison for former Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh.
Federal prosecutors said an investigation into Pugh began in February 2017 based on accusations she used her children's books as a ruse to raise money for her mayoral campaign and a new house.
Prosecutors are seeking a sentence of 57 months. The case never went to trial and this new 90-page filing is loaded with details of what likely would have been used against Pugh in court.
In its sentencing memorandum, the government wrote, "The maximum sentence within the applicable guideline range provides an adequate and just punishment for Pugh's longstanding pattern of criminal conduct and serves to deter other would be corrupt politicians from breaching the public's trust."
