James Berlangero, 64, was sentenced on Tuesday to up to three years in state prison for scoring $70,000 in kickbacks and a job for his daughter as payment from an agency contractor.
Former Metro-North Railroad contract manager James Berlangero was sentenced to one to three years in state prison for providing insider bid-procurement information to benefit himself and WRS Environmental Services.Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said Berlangero"misused taxpayer dollars and railroaded a contracting process that should have been decided based on free competition."The kickbacks to Berlangero included $59,000 in cash and the job for his daughter.
Berlangero resigned from the MTA amid the investigation — then took a job at another state agency, the New York State Division of Homes and Community Renewal. He was fired two months later for poor performance, according to state officials.“There is zero tolerance at Metro-North for the misuse of public funds,” Metro-North Railroad President Catherine Rinaldi said in a statement provided by the DA’s office.
“The actions of this former employee to defraud Metro-North and abuse the contracting process for kickbacks and bribes were unlawful, and I am grateful to see justice served.”
