FOND DU LAC, Wis. (WTAQ) - Prosecutors recommend three-and-a-half years in jail for a former Fond du Lac city official who took part in an embezzlement scheme that netted $240,000.
65-year-old Ken Moran of Oshkosh struck a plea deal this week. He pleaded no contest to felony and misdemeanor embezzlement, conspiracy to commit fraud, and misconduct in public office.
In exchange, prosecutors agreed to ask a judge to sentence Moran to much less than the maximum of 10 years in prison. He agreed to pay $10,000 more in restitution, on top of the $80,000 he has already paid.
Moran was a supervisor for Fond du Lac’s Information Systems department. Officials said he and 4 others engaged in a false invoicing scheme for at least three years.
Three of the other city employees have been convicted and sentenced. Former Information Systems director Mark Beveridge has a plea hearing set for August 3rd.
