BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - A federal judge has ordered former Alabama two-year college Chancellor Roy Johnson to forfeit $18.2 million in cash and a $1.3 million home.
Johnson, who is scheduled to be sentenced later this month by U.S. District Judge Karon Bowdre, faces more than 25 years in prison and more than $2 million in fines.
The forfeiture order issued Monday allows the government to seize the home Johnson built in Opelika.
Prosecutors are expected to ask for a lighter prison term for Johnson because of his cooperation in public corruption cases.
Johnson, once the government's key target in its federal criminal investigation of the two-year college system, turned into the key witness as prosecutors looked into jobs and payments to legislators and relatives of state school board members.
