On Wednesday, Jan. 24, a Guilderland woman pleaded guilty in Vermont to charges that she obstructed a federal grand jury investigation.
Carol Capoccia, 55, is the wife of Andrew Capoccia ,who was convicted in April 2005 of diverting millions of dollars from the accounts of clients of the Law Centers for Consumer Protection, a debt reduction business he founded in Colonie. The business was later sold and moved to Vermont.
In Wednesday’s guilty plea, Carol Capoccia admitted she had her housekeeper smuggle financial records out of her house during a court-ordered raid that took place on March 19, 2002.
Capoccia faces up to 10 years of imprisonment and a fine up to $250,000 when she is sentenced on April 27 by the U.S. District Court in Brattleboro, Vt. She is free on bail until then.`
