A former Boston Fire Department district chief has been sentenced after being convicted on procurement fraud and larceny charges.
Edward Scigliano, 46 of Kingston, was sentenced to a three-year probationary period and 750 hours of community service. He was convicted in connection with two illicit schemes.
Scigliano was ordered to pay restitution to the city of Boston within two years.
The state recommended a sentence of two years in the house of correction, with one year to serve and the balance suspended for a three-year probationary term.
On Feb. 9, following a two-week trial, a jury found Scigliano guilty on five counts of procurement fraud, and five counts of larceny over $250.
According to police, between 2008 and 2011, Scigliano used two separate schemes to enrich himself, including one in which he profited from checks from an emergency vehicle vendor that did business with the BFD and another scheme to personally profit from items purchased by an equipment vendor used to supply the department.
Scigliano received more than $32,000 in checks from the emergency vehicle vendor and directed the equipment vendor to purchase more than $17,000 worth of items for his personal use.
