CEO of Ingentra HR Services Sentenced To 78 Months Imprisonment

The head of a New York payroll company was sentenced Friday to 6 1/2 years in federal prison for stealing $18 million from Sacramento County.

U.S. District Court Judge Garland E. Burrell Jr., who started his legal career as a prosecutor for the county, said Albert Cipoletti violated his position of trust as chief executive officer of Ingentra HR Services.

Sacramento County sent money to Ingentra to handle payroll taxes for special districts, but the company understated the amount in its filings to the Internal Revenue Service. From 2005 to 2010, the company handled payroll taxes for about 3,000 special-district employees.
