Fort Lauderdale attorney Anthony Livoti, who represented numerous police officers in legal matters, was sentenced Tuesday to 10 years in federal prison for falsifying documents in the $800 million Mutual Benefits Corp. viatical scam.
Livoti, who served as trustee for the company, rejected a three-year plea deal to become the only Mutual Benefits official of 13 facing criminal charges to go to trial. He was convicted last December of four of 24 counts, including conspiracy to commit fraud and money laundering.
