Ex-Access HealthSource CEO, spokesman sentenced for racketeering; nearly $14M restitution ordered
Former Access HealthSource CEO Francisco "Frank" Apodaca, and his former spokesman will be serving their federal prison sentence close to home.
Earlier this month, Apodaca and co-defendant Marc Schwartz were each sentenced to eight years in prison after pleading guilty last year to public corruption charges. Apodaca is appealing his sentence.
Last week, Schwartz and his attorney were notified that Schwartz will be incarcerated at the FCI La Tuna federal prison facility in Anthony, Texas. Apodaca will serve his sentence at a federal prison in Big Spring, Texas, which is about 345 miles east of El Paso.

During their sentencing hearing early this month, U.S. District Judge Frank Montalvo ordered each to pay nearly $7 million in restitution to two area school districts and El Paso County, including nearly $2.3 million to the Ysleta Independent School District, $4.1 million to the El Paso Independent School District and about $433,000 to the county.
