Federal prosecutors on Thursday asked a judge to sentence Che Brown, the brother of ex-D.C. Council Chairman Kwame Brown, to six months in prison for lying about his income on mortgage paperwork.

Prosecutors, who requested the sentence in a court filing ahead of Brown’s sentencing on Tuesday, cited the “complex and deliberate nature of his scheme” and “the defendant’s failure to appreciate the seriousness of his crime” as factors in their recommendation.
