Fani Wills campaign donor, an Atlanta prosecutor, and ex-cop, is jailed for stealing $15M tax dollars and using the cash to buy herself diamond rings, pricey Chanel products, and a Rolls Royce

dailymail.com——Court documents show that Fani campaign donor, Robertson, falsely claimed she was responsible for a 427 employees. The number of ‘alleged staff’ in her ‘alleged companies’ allowed her to obtain enormous PPP tax dollars, meant to keep legitimate businesses afloat through the pandemic.

The DOJ said she transferred funds to a co-conspirator, Chandra Norton, and other family members. The pair were self-serving——and had no qualms about abusing the PPP, even submitting false tax documents to back up their inflated falsified income statements w/ each loan application.

A jury convicted Robertson of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering, with the judge sentencing her to seven years and three months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release.

Robertson used some of the money to purchase luxury items. She is pictured in a 2015 photo wearing a pricey Chanel bracelet.

It’s quite the fall from grace for Robertson who was Atlanta’s Assistant City Attorney, had been a city cop, and ran for several public offices including a judgeship in Faniland’s Fulton County.

‘I’m dead broke,’ she said at sentencing. ‘My business is gone. My (law) license is gone. My assets are gone. The only thing I have left is my family and my faith in God. I’m not that person that tries to take advantage of anybody or any situation,’ she said. ‘I’ve owned up to what I’ve done.’

U.S. District Judge Steven D. Grimberg said the loss of the $14 million in funds was staggering. ‘It was her level of direction and confidence in being able to commit this level of fraud without being detected that instigated it in the first place,’ Grimberg said in court.

‘Motivated by greed, Robertson deceptively obtained funds that were designated to provide emergency financial relief to struggling small businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic,’ said U.S. Attorney Ryan K. Buchanan. ‘

‘Today the defendant was held accountable for fraudulently obtaining millions of dollars through the Paycheck Protection Program and using those stolen funds to enrich herself, while small businesses were struggling during the pandemic,’ added Kyle Myles, Special Agent in Charge of the FDIC.
