PHILADELPHIA, PA — United States Attorney Jacqueline C. Romero revealed that Gregory Fiocca, a 32-year-old Philadelphia resident, entered a guilty plea on Monday to charges of unlawfully demanding money in his capacity as a union representative. The plea was made before United States District Court Judge Jeffrey L. Schmehl, addressing a superseding information that accused Fiocca of soliciting payment for hours not worked, with the amount in question not exceeding $1,000.
Fiocca is slated for sentencing on January 7, 2025, where he faces a statutory maximum penalty of up to one year in prison. Additionally, the potential sentence includes one year of supervised release, a fine reaching $10,000, and a $25 special assessment. This sentencing aims to reflect the seriousness of financial misconduct and to deter similar offenses within union settings.
The prosecution of this case is being managed by Assistant United States Attorneys Frank Costello and Jason Grenell, who continue to emphasize the significance of transparency and accountability in union leadership roles.
