twitterInsurance bribe charges draw three years’ probation
Monday, Jan. 10, 2000 | 11:26 a.m.
Two Las Vegas men who pleaded guilty in September to bribing an insurance adjuster were given three years' probation Friday.
Anthony Schwabb and John D'Amico Sr. admitted offering a bribe to a Westport Insurance Corp. adjuster so he would expedite an insurance claim following a February 1999 fire at Anthony's Restaurant, 1550 E. Tropicana Ave.
At their change of plea hearing, the pair confessed to U.S. District Judge Johnnie Rawlinson that the claim had been fraudulently inflated.
The fire caused between $12,000 and $16,000 in damage, but according to the men's indictment, they offered the unnamed adjuster $3,500 if he would authorize a $35,000 payment.
U.S. Attorney Matthew Parrella said the men also were given four months home detention and will be required to wear an electronic monitoring device. In addition, Rawlinson ordered Schwabb to pay a $5,000 fine and D'Amico a $2,000 fine.
