Newsday Ex-Exec Pleads Guilty in Fraud Case
A former Newsday executive has secretly pleaded guilty to charges growing out of the federal investigation of the circulation scandal at the newspaper and is cooperating with prosecutors, according to several sources familiar with the probe.
Robert Brennan, Newsday’s former vice president of circulation, pleaded guilty to mail fraud and income tax evasion several weeks ago as part of a plea agreement in a closed proceeding at the U.S. District Court in Brooklyn, according to the sources.
Newsday is owned by Tribune Co., which also publishes the Los Angeles Times.
