John Haggerty, GOP operative who stole from Bloomberg, goes back to prison

SHAYNA JACOBS

Republican operative John Haggerty Jr. went back to prison Monday for stealing $750,000 from former Mayor Michael Bloomberg's campaign coffers during his 2009 mayoral run.

Haggerty lost his latest appeal in June when his Manhattan Supreme Court conviction was upheld by the New York State Court of Appeals, the state's highest court.

He was out on bail pending the results of that ruling. He was supposed to surrender to finish his sentenced earlier this month, but was granted a two-week reprieve to assist his infirm aunt.
