Lea Fastow last year was charged with six felony conspiracy and tax counts by the Justice Department, as officials tried to persuade her husband to cooperate with their investigation into the bankrupt former energy giant.

She was convicted of signing a bogus tax return to help her and her husband hide illegal or ill-gotten income. Andrew Fastow pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 10 years.

He is working with the Enron Task Force and is not expected to begin serving his sentence until after his wife is released, the report said.  Top of page
