A federal court judge on Tuesday sentenced Douglas Jemal, the successful D.C. developer convicted on a count of felony wire fraud last year, to five years of probation plus a $175,000 fine.

Jemal and Blake Esherick, the developer’s top aide, were each found guilty on one count of wire fraud for sending false documents to lender Morgan Stanley to illegally obtain $430,000. Esherick, who also was convicted on two counts of tax evasion, was sentenced in March to eight months in prison.
