Fired CFO of Philadelphia archdiocese charged in $900K theft; investigators recoup $150K
By Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — A former financial executive of the Philadelphia archdiocese has been charged with stealing over $900,000 from the church.
City prosecutors say 42-year-old Anita Guzzardi surrendered Tuesday. She was fired in July, weeks after becoming chief financial officer.
Prosecutors say Guzzardi used hundreds of church checks to pay personal credit card bills from 2005 to 2011. The investigation began when American Express contacted authorities.
Guzzardi’s lawyer did not immediately return a message Tuesday.
