Former Levi’s Stadium manager accused of $1.4 million embezzlement

A former manager of Levi’s Stadium has been accused of embezzling in San Mateo County taxpayer funds.

The allegation

The accusation involves in public money connected to San Mateo County. The person identified in the allegation previously managed Levi’s Stadium.

An accusation is not a finding of guilt. The allegation would need to be addressed through the appropriate legal process.

Why the amount matters

The alleged loss is measured in millions of dollars and involves taxpayer funds. That places the matter in the public-interest category, separate from the former manager’s past role at the stadium.

What happens next

The next steps depend on the actions of law-enforcement officials, prosecutors and the courts. Charging documents, court hearings or a response from the accused could provide more detail about the allegation and the legal process.

The Santa Cruz Sentinel reported on the accusation. No conclusion about criminal responsibility is established by the accusation alone.
