Jewell pleaded guilty in April to a single charge of violating the Labor Relations Management Act. At the time, prosecutors proposed a prison sentence of 12 to 18 months. U.S. District Judge Paul Borman rejected Jewell’s request to avoid prison and serve his sentence under house arrest.Jewell is the eighth former UAW or Fiat Chrysler official sentenced as part of the federal criminal investigation of UAW finances.
Federal prosecutors have said Fiat Chrysler officials conspired in the misuse of $4.5 million in training center funds. Prosecutors said Jewell accepted over $90,000 in illegal payments from Fiat Chrysler for his own benefit and to pay for travel, golf outings, parties and other entertainment for senior UAW leaders. “The parties included thousands of dollars in Fiat Chrysler money spent on 20 boxes of cigars, ultra-premium liquor, personalized bottles of wine, and women paid to light the cigars of senior UAW leaders,” federal prosecutors said in a statement on Monday.
However, prosecutor David Gardey said Jewell and other senior UAW officials enjoyed a “high-flying lifestyle” of “premium liquor and fine steaks” on company and union money. Fiat Chrysler, Gardey told the court, wanted UAW officials to be “fat, dumb and happy.”
