A former supervisor at a Mercedes-Benz dealership who pleaded guilty to embezzling more than $1 million from the company was sentenced Monday to 18 months in federal prison, authorities said.
David Delgado, 37, was also ordered to pay the money back to Mercedes-Benz of Laguna Niguel, where he worked for more than seven years.
