Ex-Citigroup managing director sentenced to 30 years in prison for sex crimes

Edward Gene Smith, a 50-year-old Harvard-educated former managing director at Citigroup Inc., was sentenced to 30 years in prison on Tuesday in New York. The sentencing follows his conviction for sex crimes that prosecutors stated took place over a 10-year period.

During the legal proceedings, Smith cited autism as a factor in his actions. The court’s decision concludes a case involving a high-ranking financial executive and a decade-long pattern of criminal conduct.
