A 51-year-old Thunder Bay man is going to jail for three years after pleading guilty to two counts of fraud against the Kashechewan First Nation and Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada.
Federal Prosecutor Mark Seebaran says the sentence they reached will make an example of Joe Crupi.
Crupi has been ordered to pay a $335,000 fine after he is released from jail and has ten years to do it.
That amount will go towards paying back over $650,000 to Kashechewan First Nation.
