"For over a decade, Manafort repeatedly and brazenly violated the law," prosecutors wrote. The 25-page memo, filed in federal court in Washington, is likely the last major filing by prosecutors as Manafort heads into his sentencing hearings next month and as Mueller's investigation approaches a conclusion. The sentencing memo, submitted Saturday in one of two criminal cases Paul Manafort faces, says he committed an array of crimes, repeatedly lied to investigators and presents a 'grave risk' of committing new crimes. As part of that plea, he agreed to co-operate with Mueller's team, a move that could have helped him avoid a longer prison sentence. Prosecutors originally filed a sealed sentencing memo on Friday, but the document was made public on Saturday with certain information still redacted, or blacked out.
