Attorney sentenced for laundering drug funds
Gary Prolman, a Saco-based attorney, was sentenced to two years in federal prison sentence Tuesday for laundering $177,500 in drug money for a business partner.
The Portland Press Herald reported that Prolman, who was also working on building a sports agency business, pleaded guilty to the laundering charge in April as part of a plea agreement. He has already repaid the laundered money.
Prolman’s drug money laundering was discovered after David Jones, a business partner who was starting a music and clothing line business, was arrested while delivering over 100 pounds of marijuana from California to Maine. Jones, who had invested up to $250,000 in Prolman’s sports agency business, had Prolman change small bills into large bills to make it easier to transport drug money across the country.
Prolman said during the sentencing hearing that he was “on the cusp of truly making it” as a sports agent for professional hockey players, an ambition he’s had for several years.
Prolman’s license to practice law was suspended indefinitely earlier this year.
