Ex-Kodak accountant sentenced over kickbacks
Text Size 
ROCHESTER, N.Y. - A former corporate tax accountant at Eastman Kodak Co. has been sentenced to two years in federal prison for accepting kickbacks in a $14 million property assessment conspiracy.
Mark Camarata cried as he apologized Monday for helping illegally lower Kodak's property assessments in the suburb of Greece from 1999 to 2005. The photography company said it was unaware of the scheme.
Camarata pleaded guilty in 2005 to accepting $4.1 million in kickbacks from a tax appraiser. He cooperated with prosecutors and avoided being sentenced to as much as 20 years.
The appraiser and the former assessor in Greece were each sent to prison in February for 12 years. A former Kodak tax executive, David Finnman, drew a 21-month sentence.
