The documents filed in U.S. District Court show the prosecution is seeking two years of probation and six months of house arrest.
In May, Pocklington pleaded guilty to perjury in a 2008 bankruptcy fraud case. Whether the 68-year-old businessman gets the sentencing proposed in the documents depends on the judge and Pocklington’s willingness to file tax information that’s been requested.
Pocklington filed for bankruptcy in August 2008, claiming almost $19.6 million in debts and $2,900 in assets. But he actually had control over two bank accounts and two storage units, he admitted.
Along with two years of probation, Pocklington may also be subjected to wear an electronic monitoring device, the documents say.
The CBC News reports that Pocklington’s sentencing hearing will take place on Monday, so we should hear more then or on Tuesday.
