NEW YORK — A former government official hailed for helping two people escape the World Trade Center on Sept. 11 was sentenced Friday to at least a year in prison, his second term behind bars after two bribery cases turned his story of heroism into a tale of graft in the wake of the attacks.
The sentencing Friday was about a case in which Mark Jakubek took payoffs to let a company overbill for work on the twin towers cleanup.
