A clerk caught embezzling!
Two embezzled $500K from Jewish center
Guilty pleas show former CFO and clerk both embezzling, separately, at same time
SAN DIEGO
— Two longtime employees of the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center
in La Jolla embezzled a total of more than $500,000 in separate
schemes, using the nonprofit’s funds for everything from designer shoes
and lavish trips to lingerie and sushi, according to plea agreements
entered in San Diego federal court Thursday.
Prosecutors
said Nancy Johnson, 59, who oversaw the center’s $13 million annual
budget as the chief financial officer, and Tamara Azizov, 62, the
center’s former accounts payable clerk, worked alongside each another
for several years, but neither knew the other was also embezzling money
from the nonprofit.
The center, founded in 1945, operates a preschool, center for senior citizens and many other cultural and educational programs.

Bay County woman pleads guilty to embezzling thousands from area football league
BAY CITY, MI — A Bay County woman has pleaded guilty
to embezzling thousands from a local football league, but may avoid
imprisonment if she repays the amount she stole.
Robbyn A. Navarro,
47, on Wednesday, May 27, appeared in Bay County Circuit Court and
pleaded guilty to one count of embezzlement of $1,000 to $2,000 from a
nonprofit or charity.
The charge is a five-year felony. No other charges
were dismissed.
Navarro's trial was to begin the day she entered her plea.
Court records indicate the prosecution is recommending Navarro
receive a one-year delayed sentence, during which she'd effectively be
on probation. If she repays her restitution debt in that span, she'll be
allowed to withdraw her plea and instead plead guilty to a reduced
misdemeanor charge of embezzlement by an agent or trustee between $200
and $1,000.
