In a set of documents issued late Friday, convicted former Fall River Mayor Jasiel Correia II is asking to have his January 28 reporting date to a New Hampshire Federal Prison paused. 

 

Correia is asking that his surrender date be reset until 14 days after the close of evidience in the trial of former Campaign Manager and Chief of Staff Gen Andrade, or for 45 days, in light of the mnicron varient of Covid-19 which Correia's defense tema says responsible for hundreds of infections in New Hampshire. 

 

Correia's Defense Attorneys argue that 25% of the current prison population has Covid-19. 

His Defense Team says Correia will continue to work at upscale Steak House in Downtown Fall River owned by his in laws. 

Correia married Jennifer Fernandez in 2021. 

 

In a response from Federal Prosecutors in Boston, U-S Attorney Rachel Rollins writes that Correia spent SnoOwl Investors money on ''a luxury car, luxury hotels and sex toys''.

 

Rollins describes Correia as ''just another corrupt politician finally convicted of selling his office'', who is ''hale and hearty enough'' to start his prison sentence.
