Maricopa County Attorney's Office - Theft of Public Monies

Our investigation revealed that from July 1997 to May 2001, at least $30,815 was embezzled from the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office Anti-Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organization fund.  We submitted our findings to the Attorney General’s Office, and on September 10, 2002, the Superior Court issued an indictment against Marlene Larson, the former Assistant Controller of the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office that included one count each of theft and fraudulent schemes.
