RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A judge sentenced a former Costa Rican businessman and professional soccer team owner to 60 years in prison Tuesday after hearing heart-wrenching and often tearful testimony from victims of his $485 million insurance fraud scheme.

The sentence handed down by U.S. District Judge John A. Gibney Jr. ensures that Minor Vargas Calvo, 61, will spend the rest of his life in prison — the goal sought by federal prosecutors. Vargas told the judge the 644 days he has spent in custody have been enough to teach him a lesson.
