Giannulli is now under supervised release administered by an Office of Prisons office in San Pedro, California, according to office records. He had been imprisoned since Nov. 19 at a federal prison in Lompoc, California.
Prison Office spokesman Emery Nelson confirmed to CNN that Giannulli was released from Lompoc prison on Friday, but did not say whether he is halfway home or at home.
Giannulli is scheduled to be published in full on April 17, according to Nelson.
Giannulli’s lawyers did not respond to CNN’s requests for information Saturday afternoon.
Giannulli and Loughlin became some of the highest-profile parents involved in the college admissions scandal. They admitted to having paid $ 500,000 to the mastermind of the scheme, William “Rick” Singer, for their daughters to accept admission to the University of Southern California.
Giannulli had asked a judge to grant him confinement at home on compassionate grounds earlier this year because the coronavirus pandemic forced him to spend 56 days in quarantine in solitary confinement. Judge Nathaniel Gorton denied this request on January 26.
Loughlin was released in December after serving a two-month sentence for his role in college admissions scam. Loughlin must also serve two years of supervised release, perform 100 hours of community service and pay a $ 150,000 fine.
Giannulli was sentenced to five months in prison, sentenced to two years of supervised release, to perform 250 hours of community service and to pay a $ 250,000 fine.
