(JTA) — Lev Parnas, the Ukrainian-American Jewish businessman and close associate of Rudy Giuliani who was arrested two years ago on charges of campaign finance violations, was convicted by a jury in New York City Friday. The charges could land Parnas in jail for up to five years for the first five counts. The sixth count for which he was convicted, falsifying records to the Federal Elections Commission, carries a maximum sentence of up to 20 years.

Speaking to the press after the verdict, Parnas spoke vaguely about his next steps.

"Obviously I'm upset, but at this time I just want to get home to my wife and kids and deal with it. I want to thank [my] lawyers, Joe and Stephanie. They put out an incredible fight, I mean, incredible. We got to reassess what happened in there and figure out what the next steps are," Parnas said, according to CNN.

Parnas and his co-conspirator Igor Fruman were arrested in 2019 for attempting to trade political contributions for support for a cannabis company they were starting. Parnas was also convicted of funneling money from Fruman to the Republican Party and to PACs that supported Donald Trump through a fake company and then lying about it to the FEC.

During the trial, prosecutors showed jurors several photos of Parnas and Fruman with members of Donald Trump's inner orbit. According to CNN, Parnas and Fruman even met with Trump himself during the White House Hanukkah party in 2018.
