SALT LAKE CITY — A former BYU football player has been convicted of taking away contracts that were supposed to go to businesses owned by disabled veterans — resulting in more than $16 million in payments from the government.
Stanley Raass, 44, of Lehi, pleaded guilty on Tuesday to wire fraud and money laundering. Sentencing was scheduled for May 23. Raass is expected to receive two years in federal prison and be ordered to pay $640,000.
Raass owned a construction company called Raass Brothers, Inc. The company provided general construction for the federal government, according to charging documents.
