Two executives indicted in the corruption probe that started at Grey Global Group and print supplier Color Wheel were sentenced last Tuesday in Manhattan’s Southern District U.S. Court.

Birj Deckmejian, a former independent salesman for Color Wheel who faced a prison term of up to 30 months, was given three years’ probation. He will also have to pay a yet-to-be-determined fine. Health factors helped him avoid jail time.

Lori Montgomery, a minority owner of Quality House of Graphics, received two years’ probation and a $100 fine for helping to rig bids for Grey’s print-ad business.
