La sentencia para el exdirector de finanzas de La Jolla Music Society est\u00e1 fijada para el 5 de mayo despu\u00e9s de que se declar\u00f3 culpable de fraude electr\u00f3nico en malversaci\u00f3n de fondos por un total de $650,000 durante un per\u00edodo de 10 a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n
A Chris Michael Benavides, de 52 a\u00f1os, se le permiti\u00f3 permanecer en libertad con una fianza de $20,000 por parte de la jueza magistrada del Tribunal de Distrito de EE. UU. Barbara Major.<\/p>\n
La Sociedad de M\u00fasica de La Jolla descubri\u00f3 la actividad fraudulenta el 22 de febrero de 2021 y despidi\u00f3 a Benavides en marzo de 2021. Luego denunciaron el desfalco a las fuerzas del orden.<\/p>\n
\u201cEl fraude perpetrado contra organizaciones sin fines de lucro es particularmente preocupante\u201d, dijo el fiscal federal Randy Grossman.<\/p>\n
\u201cEste acusado abus\u00f3 de su posici\u00f3n de confianza para enriquecerse y ser\u00e1 responsable de su crimen\u201d, dijo Grossman.<\/p>\n
Grossman dijo que Benavides dijo que us\u00f3 los fondos robados para pagar su hipoteca, tarjetas de cr\u00e9dito y otros gastos personales.<\/p>\n
Los registros judiciales dicen que se apropi\u00f3 indebidamente de $650,000 entre octubre de 2011 y febrero de 2021 de la organizaci\u00f3n sin fines de lucro donde comenz\u00f3 a trabajar en 2006. Su acuerdo de culpabilidad dice que ide\u00f3 un plan para hacer que se emitieran cheques a su nombre y luego se depositaran en su propia cuenta bancaria.<\/p>\n
Se le ordenar\u00e1 a Benavides que le devuelva el dinero a La Jolla Music Society y es posible que ya haya hecho alguna restituci\u00f3n, seg\u00fan los registros.<\/p>\n
La sentencia m\u00e1xima es de 20 a\u00f1os en una prisi\u00f3n federal, pero el acuerdo de culpabilidad dice que la oficina del Fiscal Federal ha aceptado una recomendaci\u00f3n de sentencia en el extremo inferior de las pautas de sentencia.<\/p>\n
\u201cCr\u00edmenes como este pueden tener un impacto devastador tanto en el empleador como en la comunidad local, y debilitar a\u00fan m\u00e1s la confianza de los donantes cuyas contribuciones ben\u00e9ficas brindan un apoyo cr\u00edtico para las organizaciones sin fines de lucro\u201d, dijo Suzanne Turner, agente especial del FBI a cargo.<\/p>\n
\u201cEspero que esta declaraci\u00f3n de culpabilidad proporcione una sensaci\u00f3n de cierre y justicia para las v\u00edctimas\u201d, dijo Turner.<\/p>\n
Se le orden\u00f3 a Benavides que notifique a la oficina del Fiscal Federal si compra cualquier propiedad por valor de m\u00e1s de $1,000. Vive en Mission Valley.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
