Former NH port director pleads guilty to leaking permit data, resigns, and avoids jail.

Geno Marconi, former New Hampshire Port Director, has agreed to plead guilty to a misdemeanor under the Driver Privacy Act, according to court documents. As part of a negotiated plea, he will resign, face a suspended 30-day jail sentence, and pay a $2,000 fine. The charge stems from allegations he shared confidential vehicle and pier permit information about a Pease Development Authority board member. The plea dismisses six other charges, including felonies related to witness tampering and evidence falsification. Marconi had been on paid leave since April 2024. His wife, a state Supreme Court justice, was recently convicted in a related matter.
