Businessman pardoned by Clinton found dead in condo

Palm Beach Post, Nov 3, 2006

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — A businessman pardoned by former President Clinton has been found dead inside his South Beach condo, authorities said.

Almon Glenn Braswell, 63, was found dead Oct. 28 in his Ocean Drive condo by his employees.

No additional information was released.

Braswell's death has been labeled "unclassified" pending more tests, the Miami-Dade medical examiner's said.

Messages left late Thursday for a Miami Beach police spokesman were not immediately returned.

Braswell had been living in seclusion since his release from prison in October 2005, said his former mother-in-law, Hattie Burger. He had been sentenced to 18 months in prison for failing to pay millions of dollars in federal income tax.

Clinton granted 177 pardons and clemencies just before leaving office in 2001. Braswell was pardoned of convictions for fraud and other crimes stemming from false claims in 1983 about a baldness treatment.

His pardon became one of the most criticized after it was learned that Clinton's brother-in-law, Hugh Rodham, had been paid $200,000 to work on the case.
