Imaad Zuberi, a Californian businessman was sentenced Thursday to 12 years in prison for schemes to funnel foreign money into U.S. political campaigns, then take millions of dollars for himself.

The Los Angeles Times reported that U.S. Assistant Attorney Daniel J. O'Brien said Zuberi was "purely a mercenary, funneling money to whomever he believed would do his bidding."

Among the many unsealed court records, Zuberi was seen photographed with Joe Biden and Barack Obama when they were Vice President and President. He was also pictured with former President Bill Clinton and former presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton. He took pictures with former Republican Rep. Paul Ryan when he was speaker of the House as well as the late Sen. John McCain of Arizona.

Zuberi, 50, pleaded guilty to a "three-count information charging with violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA)" for making false statements on a FARA filing as well as tax evasion and illegal contributions to political campaigns. He also pleaded guilty in a separate case earlier in June 2020 to a count of obstruction of justice.
