Cleveland: A former Cleveland Catholic Diocese accountant who funneled $784,000 in kickbacks to a diocese official was convicted Tuesday of conspiracy and 14 other counts.

Anton Zgoznik, 40, of suburban Kirtland Hills, arranged the payments to his former boss, Joseph Smith, 50, when Smith was chief legal and financial officer for the diocese.

Zgoznik sat calmly with his hands folded on the defense table while the verdict was read in federal court. He showed no emotion other than a slight frown.
