Based on court filings and news reports, Kateryna Jones is originally from Ukraine. Prosecutors alleged that she received union salary for a period when she was living in Ukraine and dating Newton Jones before they married.
The publicly available reports I found do not specify her city or region in Ukraine. They identify her as:
Kateryna Jones, age 32–33,
Wife of former Boilermakers union president Newton Jones,
Resident of Chapel Hill at the time of the indictment and trial.
The recent federal trial resulted in convictions against Newton Jones, Kateryna Jones, and others on racketeering and related charges. Sentencing is scheduled for September 2026.
She is facing 20 years. They are all mobsters over there. I should know I married one from Rep of Georgia. Tried to have me killed with an expensive life insurance policy. The Lord and the Georgian people save me! 😮
Chapel Hill couple Newton and Kateryna Jones are facing up to 20 years in prison for embezzlement and racketeering.
