Office of the District Attorney P. David Soares Antonia Novello Sentenced to Community Service, Restitution for Defrauding New York State ALBANY, NY – District Attorney P. David Soares today announced that ANTONIA NOVELLO, 64, of FL, was sentenced to 250 hours of community service at Koinonia Primary Care, a healthcare clinic in Albany, N.Y., by the Honorable Stephen Herrick. She must also pay $22,500 in restitution and $5,000 in fines.

In court this morning, the attorney for Ms. Novello said that she has experienced redemption as a result of her time spent at the Koinonia Clinic. “We only hope that her redemption is genuine and long lasting,” commented Albany County District Attorney P. David Soares. Assistant District Attorney Linda Griggs of the Public Integrity Unit handled the prosecution of this case.
