Detroit Strip Clubs: Consultant gets 1 day jail sentence for bribing union leader

Assistant U.S. Attorney David Gardey said Jewett was prosecuted for promising a $266,000 kickback to Mabry — a crime he admitted. Jewett initially cooperated with the investigation but later “for unknown reasons, decided to stop cooperating with the government,” Gardey said.
Mabry, 64, is serving a federal prison sentence for receiving illegally discounted work on his Grosse Pointe Park home, but has not been charged in connection with the Jewett case. Mabry is due to be released in May 2011.
AA Capital was headed by John Orecchio, a Chicago businessman who awaits sentencing after pleading guilty in February to wire fraud and theft from an employee benefit plan in federal court in Illinois.
He admitted misappropriating more than $24 million invested by the carpenters and other union pension funds, spending the money on over $1 million worth of jewelry, luxury cars, travel, gambling and renovating a Detroit strip club, among other items.
