Susan Figuerido, a former bookkeeper from Falmouth, has been sentenced to two years in prison for embezzling over $1.3 million from her employer. The sentencing was handed down by U.S. District Court Judge Leo T. Sorokin. Following her prison term, Figuerido will serve two years of supervised release. Additionally, she has been ordered to repay $1,714,921.01 in restitution.
Figuerido, 73, pleaded guilty in October to charges of wire fraud and filing a false tax return. The embezzlement occurred between June 2015 and February 2023, during which time Figuerido wrote checks to herself using her employer’s bank account, failing to record the transactions. She also failed to report the funds on her federal tax returns, leading to a tax loss of approximately $353,000.
