PHILADELPHIA—Susan Skotnicki, a/k/a “Susan Swett,” 53, of Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, was sentenced today by the Honorable Anita Brody to four years probation, a fine of $1,000, and a special assessment of $100 for her conviction for engaging in a scheme to defraud the Senate of Pennsylvania by submitting fraudulent invoices and reimbursement requests on behalf of former Pennsylvania State Senator Vincent J. Fumo, announced United States Attorney Michael L. Levy. Skotnicki pleaded guilty to the charge on January 9, 2009, admitting that she used the net proceeds from the scheme to write checks to herself in the amount of $70,113. Defendant Skotnicki paid full restitution in that amount earlier this year.

The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys John J. Pease and Robert A. Zauzmer.
