Army CID has stated that this was the largest, the
largest fraud the United States Army has seen by a
single individual.
The defendant is a former Army civilian employee who worked
as a financial program manager for Children, Youth and Social
Services at Fort Sam Houston here in San Antonio.
While in that position, and through an abuse of power,
she fraudulently secured more than $100 million in federal funding
for her fake business, child Health, Youth lifelong Development.
Simply put, the defendant stole from the government, from the
taxpayers, from military children, and she's going to prison as
a result.
And she just was sentenced to 15 years in federal
prison.
What did she do with the money?
She spent it on expensive vehicles, historic motorcycles, real estate
properties, designer handbags and high end jewelleries.
We also found millions of dollars in her bank accounts.
She used the money meant for the military families to
give herself a life of luxury.
Thanks to the joint effort, we seized many of these
assets.
These included her expense, her exotic cars, historic motorcycles, real
estate properties and other high value items.
And the forfeiture process is underway and we're committed to
return as much as possible back to the intended beneficiaries.
