Steward Health Care CEO Ralph de la Torre could face prison for ignoring a congressional subpoena.
The U.S. Senate has voted unanimously to refer a contempt of Congress charge to the Justice Department for prosecution.
The head of the bankrupt hospital chain has been accused of paying himself and other top executives excessive compensation as the company went bankrupt.
If convicted of contempt, de la Torre could be sentenced to up to a year in federal prison.
