FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) - The leader of a national maritime union was sentenced Thursday to 6 years in prison for spending organizational funds on personal luxuries, including a bachelor party and repairs for a dive boat.
U.S. District Judge James Cohn sentenced Michael McKay, 59, to 6 years, and McKay's brother, Robert, 56, to 15 months.
The McKays were found guilty in December of racketeering conspiracy and several lesser charges stemming from their time as president and secretary-treasurer, respectively, of American Maritime Officers."
