Michael Forde is serving an 11-year sentence in a West Virginia prison. |
A federal judge has ordered former city carpenters union boss Michael Forde to pay more than $5.7 million in restitution for ripping off his members and their benefit funds.
Judge Victor Marrero's order comes on top of $600,000 Forde must repay the District Council of Carpenters for legal fees and unauthorized charges.
Forde, who pleaded guilty to racketeering charges last year, is serving an 11-year sentence in a West Virginia prison.
The judge ordered him to cough up 25% of his gross monthly income until the debt is paid.
District Council Supervisor Frank Spencer praised the order but conceded that "the council and benefit funds will never fully be repaid."
