Jasiel Correia prosecutor: How a paper trail led the mayor to prison

The case against former Fall River mayor Jasiel Correia II led investigators and federal prosecutors from one path that veered off onto another.

That, according to former U.S. Assistant Attorney Zachary Hafer, is how Correia, Fall River’s youngest and likely most notorious mayor, was eventually the subject of an intensive probe that ultimately landed him in federal prison.
