Overview

  • A judge accepted Anna Barbara Hantz Marconi’s no contest plea to criminal solicitation of misuse of position, imposed a $1,200 fine, and dismissed all remaining charges.
  • Under the agreement, prosecutors stipulated the offense does not meet the definition of a “serious crime” for attorney discipline purposes.
  • The conviction stems from her June 2024 meeting with then-Gov. Chris Sununu, where she sought special treatment regarding an active attorney general investigation of her husband.
  • Following Tuesday’s hearing, the court lifted her administrative leave, and Attorney General John Formella said he was disappointed by that decision.
  • Hantz Marconi remains unable to serve until her law license is reinstated, and her husband, Geno Marconi, continues to face two felony counts and related misdemeanors.
