Florida Man Sentenced for Roles in Bribery Scheme
A former Tribal IT Director has been sentenced to federal prison for his roles in a bribery scheme. Sven Schreiber, age 54, was sentenced to 12 months and one day in federal prison, followed by two years of supervised release, and a $15,000 fine.
Schreiber was also ordered to pay $100 to the Federal Crime Victims Fund. The bribery scheme involved Schreiber soliciting cash payments of approximately $15,000 from a co-defendant, Arnaldo Piccinelli, who had contracted with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe to provide information technology services.
The investigation into the bribery scheme was conducted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the FBI. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeremy R. Jehangiri prosecuted the case.
Schreiber must self-report to the institution designated or the U.S. Marshals Office by 2:00pm on November 15, 2022.
The bribery scheme was brought to light as part of the Guardians Project, a federal law enforcement initiative to coordinate efforts between participating agencies to promote citizen disclosure of public corruption, fraud, and embezzlement involving federal program funds, contracts, and grants.
The Guardians Project is another step of federal law enforcement’s on-going efforts to increase engagement, coordination, and positive action on behalf of tribal communities. The participating agencies include the FBI, the Offices of Inspector General for the Departments of Interior, Health and Human Services, Social Security Administration, Agriculture, Transportation, Education, Justice, and Housing and Urban Development, IRS Criminal Investigation, U.S. Postal Inspection Service, and the U.S. Postal Service, Office of Inspector General.
