Former HealthSouth exec pleads guilty to fraud 04/22/2004 1:53:41 PM


BIRMINGHAM, Ala., April 22 (Reuters) - A former executive of scandal-plagued HealthSouth Corp. (HLSH) on Thursday pleaded guilty to fraud charges for his part in a kickback scheme involving a hospital in Saudi Arabia.

Former HealthSouth Vice President Vincent Nico was arraigned before a magistrate and then entered his guilty plea to one count of wire fraud in U.S. District Court in Birmingham, where the company is based.

Nico, 47, who already paid a forfeiture fee of just over $1 million for kickbacks and bonus he received, was released on $20,000 bond and is scheduled to be sentenced on July 22.

While Nico faces a maximum of 20 years in prison, U.S. Magistrate John Ott said he will likely serve 18 months behind bars. Prosecutors recommended a reduced sentence, saying Nico accepted responsibility for his actions and was assisting with their investigation.
