JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Action News Jax just learned federal prosecutors are asking a judge to hand former JEA CEO Aaron Zahn a “multi-year incarceration” when he is sentenced next Tuesday in his public corruption case.
In a new court filing, they say a multi-year prison term is “fair and just in this case,” adding Zahn breached the public trust in a “historic manner.”

We told you in March when a jury found Zahn guilty of wire fraud and conspiracy by attempting to enrich himself off the proposed sale of JEA in 2019.
That sale ultimately failed when questions were raised about it.

Former CFO Ryan Wannemacher was tried at the same time as Zahn, but had a separate jury. He was found not guilty.
