A former labor leader who used union dues to fund a lucrative lifestyle for himself and family members was sentenced Thursday to nearly 12 years in prison. Brian Ahakuelo, 62, will also be forced to pay a $209,000 restitution. Wearing a white prison jumpsuit and shackles, Ahakuelo waved to his loved ones and gave them the thumbs up before he was sentenced.
