branded with his initials, was sentenced Wednesday to almost seven years in prison in the federal conspiracy case.Seagram's liquor fortune heir Clare Bronfman was taken into custody to begin her 81-month sentence immediately after her appearance in federal court in Brooklyn.Bronfman, 41, admitted in a guilty plea last year that she harbored someone who was living in the U.S.
