Antonietta Roy, the 44-year-old founder of Construction Advocacy Professionals, is scheduled for sentencing the week of November 2, 2026. She pleaded guilty to conspiring to commit bribery involving former official Konstantinos Diamantis.
Why it matters
Roy faces potential prison time for paying bribes to ensure her firm retained school construction work in Connecticut. Prosecutors have requested leniency due to her cooperation as a witness during the trial of Diamantis.

The case serves as a warning for local business owners regarding the legal risks associated with state contract procurement. Residents may observe stricter oversight for future public school construction projects throughout the state.
