Banker Arthur Salomon Sentenced in Shooting

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — Former investment banker Arthur K. Salomon was sentenced today to 1 1/2 to 4 1/2 years in prison for shooting a teen-ager after a dispute on a highway.

Salomon told the court that last June 19, the day he shot Gianluca Cotugno, who survived, was a day “I’d like to forget as much as the Cotugno family.” He said he had been under a lot of stress due to the death of children of family friends. “I don’t expect the Cotugno family to ever forgive me,” said Salomon, 53, of Pound Ridge and Manhattan.
