Jairo Tomas Santos was sentenced to 36 months in prison and ordered to pay nearly $1.2 million in restitution for bank fraud connected to an embezzlement scheme involving a San Francisco-based law firm, the Justice Department said Wednesday.
Santos admitted he embezzled more than $1.1 million from a law firm where he had been employed as the office manager by signing checks to himself from the firm with the signature of the senior partner, according to the DOJ.
He was charged with three counts of bank fraud and pleaded guilty to one count. US District Judge William H. Alsup dismissed the remaining counts and sentenced Santos to a five-year period of supervised release, the DOJ said.
