    In March 2000, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has announced that horse facility owners Emil and Anna Jung of Gehlenberg-Friesoythe, Germany, have been sentenced after pleading guilty to three counts each of false statements and mail fraud.

    On February 4, Emil Jung was sentenced to 4 months in a federal penitentiary, 60 months probation, a fine of $6,000, and a special court assessment of $300 for the Criminal Victims Fund. Anna Nicole Jung received 36 months probation, a fine of $3,000, and a special court assessment of $300 for the Criminal Victims Fund.

    Also, Locksley Enterprises, Ltd., of which Emil Jung is the president, received 36 months probation, a fine of $44,000, and a special court assessment of $400 for the Criminal Victims Fund.

    Under plea agreements, the defendants plead guilty to two counts of mail fraud and one count of making false statements to a government agency. At the time of the plea agreement, the Jungs and Locksley Enterprises, Ltd., entered into a settlement separate from their current sentence. Under the settlement, they agreed to forfeit their property in Clarke County, Va., to the United States government in lieu of $345,000, an amount the defendants obtained directly through their illegal activities. The U.S. Marshals Service later sold the property for approximately $800,000.
