A Brooklyn woman pleaded guilty to charges that she stole $1 million from a Jewish cemetery on Staten Island.
Ilana Friedman, 51, admitted to grand larceny in Staten Island
Supreme Court on Tuesday. Friedman, former director of the United Hebrew
Cemetery, stole the money over a six-year period.
Friedman and her husband, Arthur, the cemetery's former president,
agreed to pay $1.1 million in restitution. Arthur Friedman did not face
charges of theft, DNAInfo reported, but court papers accused him of
failing to oversee his wife's activities.
“The Friedmans abused their posts at this Staten Island cemetery to
enrich themselves,” New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman
said in a statement. “This law-breaking husband-and-wife team will now
pay for their shameless misconduct.”
