Sabaini deposited more than $250,000 in cash into a bank account for which he was the sole signatory, prosecutors said. The deposits were structured in an effort to evade federal reporting rules, which require financial institutions to notify the U.S. Department of the Treasury about transactions of more than $10,000.
In the memoranda, Sabaini knowingly covered up material facts, including that the informant was a target of ongoing criminal investigations conducted by other agencies. He also covered up that the informant had recently engaged in unauthorized criminal conduct that Sabaini knew would have affected his suitability as a paid HSI informant.Last Thursday, a judge sentenced Sabaini to 74 months in prison and ordered him to pay $93,422 in restitution to the IRS.
