Overview
- Marconi pleaded guilty to one Driver Privacy Act misdemeanor, will resign as ports director, pay a $2,000 fine, and received a 30-day jail term fully suspended for a year.
- Prosecutors will not pursue the remaining counts, which had included felony charges of witness tampering and falsifying physical evidence along with additional misdemeanors.
- In entering the plea, Marconi admitted he improperly disclosed motor-vehicle records of Pease board member Neil Levesque to advisory council chair Bradley J. Cook, who is charged with perjury and false swearing.
- Attorney General John Formella said the outcome demonstrates that public officials are held to a high standard and face equal accountability under the law.
- The deal follows Justice Anna Barbara Hantz Marconi’s no-contest plea earlier this month to a misdemeanor for trying to influence the probe, and prosecutors noted a separate review of 2020 stimulus matters resulted in no charges against her husband.
