CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Former CCISD School Board member and city councilman John Longoria was sentenced to 5 years probation in federal court Wednesday.
Longoria pled guilty to tax-related offenses in November that led to a 2020 FBI raid.
He is charged with one count of fraud and false statements pertaining to tax years 2014-2016.
He will have to serve 75 hours of community service, pay a $40,000 fine and pay the government $187,315 of restitution.
The FBI initiated its investigation into Longoria in 2018. Court documents state the value of a private remodeling project commissioned by Longoria did not line up with his tax earnings reported from 2014-16.
That investigation concluded in 2020, and agents were able to find enough evidence to secure a warrant.
