Federal prosecutors had recommended Igor Fruman spend between three and four years in prison.
Judge Paul Oetken said Fruman's solicitation of money from a Russian businessman to donate to U.S. political campaigns was serious because it "undermines democracy."
In handing down the sentence of 12 months and one day, U.S. District Judge Paul Oetken said Fruman's solicitation of money from a Russian businessman to donate to U.S. political campaigns was serious because it "undermines democracy," but that the Belarus-born businessman was unlikely to commit a similar offense again.
Fruman, 55, who pleaded guilty last year, said the two years he spent under home confinement had given him "a chance to reflect on my action." Fruman, whose four children were present in the federal courtroom in Manhattan on Friday, must surrender on March 14.The sentence was below prosecutors' recommendation that Fruman spend 37 to 46 months in prison.
