"The former police chief of Biscayne Park will serve three years in prison for a conspiracy in his department to frame black people for crimes they did not commit.

A federal judge in Miami imposed the sentence Tuesday on ex-Biscayne Park Police Chief Raimundo Atesiano, who had faced a maximum 10-year sentence.

Three other former officers have pleaded guilty in the case, which centered around efforts by Atesiano to improve his department's crime-solving rate."
