Former Qwest Communications executive Marc Weisberg pleaded guilty Wednesday to wire fraud and agreed to cooperate with federal prosecutors trying to convict other company officials of wrongdoing, including former Chief Executive Joseph Nacchio.
Weisberg, a former senior vice president who oversaw investments, mergers and acquisitions for Denver-based Qwest Communications International Inc., pleaded guilty to a single count of fraud. He had faced eight counts of wire fraud and three counts of money laundering.
Prosecutors declined comment through U.S. Attorney's spokesman Jeff Dorschner. Weisberg's attorneys did not immediately return calls. He faces a March 3 sentencing hearing.
