LOS ANGELES, Calif.—A former union president from Glendora was sentenced July 22 to 28 months in federal prison for abusing her leadership position to embezzle union funds—behavior that depleted the union’s bank accounts and led her to double the dues paid by union members.
Aja Ann Jasmin, 42, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald, who said she committed “a very serious crime” that required “a huge amount of planning and cunning.” Fitzgerald also ordered Jasmin to pay $185,000 in restitution, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
