Tania Fernandes Anderson Reports to Federal Custody Friday for One-Month Sentence

The judge imposed a one-month term that was far below prosecutors’ request of a year and a day.

Overview

  • A Thursday federal court filing confirms she will report to the Bureau of Prisons to begin serving her sentence.
  • Prosecutors agreed to have her passport transferred to her attorney and to end pre-trial release conditions once she reports, according to the filing.
  • She was sentenced in early September to one month in prison, three years of probation, and $13,000 in restitution.
  • She pleaded guilty on May 5 to wire fraud and theft concerning a federal program under a deal that led prosecutors to drop four other counts.
  • Prosecutors said she arranged a $13,000 bonus for a staffer with a $7,000 kickback passed in a City Hall bathroom in June 2023, and she resigned from the council on July 4.
