Daniel Lawrynowicz pleaded guilty Tuesday to violating the federal travel act. The 48-year-old Monroe, New York man faces a five-year prison term when he’s sentenced July 23 and also must forfeit $75,000.
Lawrynowicz admitted getting bribes from Eugene Ostrovsky and two others who were principals of the technology company. Federal prosecutors say the bribes included a cash payment of about $75,000 after the contract was signed.
