flag Joseph Bongiovanni, a 61-year-old retired DEA agent, faces sentencing on January 21, 2026, after being convicted in October 2024 on seven of 11 charges, including drug conspiracy and obstruction of justice. flag His defense seeks a one-year sentence or no jail time, citing a jury acquittal on bribery charges, low marijuana weight estimates, and Bongiovanni’s nearly 40-year law enforcement career. flag Prosecutors had pushed for 15 years, citing allegations he acted as a "double agent" for a Buffalo-area drug ring, accepting up to $250,000 in bribes from co-defendant Peter Gerace Jr. flag The trial, held together despite defense requests for separation, involved sealed documents and protected witnesses due to safety concerns.
