John Kane, a former hospital contractor, has been sentenced after pleading guilty to participating in a commercial bribery scheme at Beverly Hospital, according to Attorney General Martha Coakley’s office.

Kane, of Hanover, pleaded guilty in Essex Superior Court to the charge of commercial bribery, according to a statement. He was sentenced to serve five years of probation, the first six months of which will be under house arrest. Kane will be monitored by electronic bracelet.

Kane was also ordered to perform 300 hours of community service while on probation. His construction company is also prohibited from bidding on public construction projects during that time.

The former associate vice president for Beverly Hospital has also been charged in this case, according to a statement. Paul Galzerano, of Groveland, allegedly used the contractors involved in the hospital’s renovation to pay his personal bills and to perform extensive renovations on his home.

Galzerano is also accused of stealing several valuable antique items from the hospital. He faces charges of commercial bribery (three counts) and larceny over $250 (four counts).

Between 2003 and 2006, Galzerano oversaw a multi-million dollar renovation of the hospital’s facilities. He allegedly solicited and received kickbacks and bribes totaling nearly $500,000 from contractors working on the renovation. Authorities allege the kickbacks to Galzerano ensured the contractors would be granted lucrative contracts to do renovation work on the hospital.
