Former New York state speaker Sheldon Silver sentenced to 12 years in prison

He was one of the most powerful politicians in the state of New York but today Sheldon Silver, 72, who was convicted last year on extortion and money laundering charges has been sentenced by District Judge Valerie Caproni late on Tuesday to twelve years behind bars for criminally enriching himself while he represented the Lower East Side of Manhattan at the legislature in Albany, the capital of the state, and served as State Assembly Speaker from 1994 to 2015. Silver was also ordered to pay $5.1 million.

“I let down my family my colleagues and my constituents,” Silver, who was sometimes known as ‘The Sphinx’ because of his inscrutable manner, said in brief remarks to the judge before sentencing. “I am truly, truly, truly, sorry for that.“
