A former bank auditor from suburban Milwaukee has agreed to plead guilty to a
federal embezzlement charge.
50-year-old Denise Lewandowski of West Allis has admitted stealing $100,000
from her former employer, Securant Bank and Trust in Milwaukee.
A plea hearing in the case is set for February 8th.
Lewandowski was the bank’s internal auditor in 2011 when the chief operating
officer noticed what he called an “odd debit entry.”
Authorities said Lewandowski remained silent when she was first questioned
about the matter. She was fired, and she gave up a 401-“K” account valued at
$50,000 plus unused vacation.
Lewandowski later admitted the embezzlement to the FBI, saying she stole the
money to pay for her personal financial problems.
