(The Center Square) – An Ohio judge has sentenced a man to four years in prison for a scheme to steal $20 million from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. According to Cuyahoga County prosecutors, Richard Rompala, 65, formed a non-profit organization, Senior Veterans Administration Services, to veterans and tell them they were eligible for higher federal benefits, even though they weren’t. SVAS would suggest the veterans designate a trusted friend or family member as a “caregiver” to offset their income so they could qualify for larger VA benefits, according to Rompala’s indictment issued last year. “If there was no trusted friend or family member then a member or associate of (SVS) would serve as the ‘caregiver,’” the indictment states. “The offsetting of the beneficiary’s income with the ‘expenses’ associated with the Caregiver Agreement would make them eligible for the additional unwarranted VA benefits.” SVAS would keep a "significant amount” of the extra benefits as alleged administrative expenses and fees, the indictment said. SVAS used its share of the money for staff salaries, supplies and for personal expenses “including but not limited to personal travel and paying off credit cards,” according to the indictment. The stolen funds were federal dollars and the scheme was uncovered as part of a federal investigation with assistance from state, Lexi Bauer, spokeswoman for the Cuyahoga County prosecutor, told The Center Square. “Ninety-five percent of the stolen funds went to veterans who relied upon (mis)representations of Rompala,” Bauer said. “It will be up to the VA whether the agency attempts to regain this money.” Rompala personally made $670,000 from the scheme and has been ordered to pay it back,. the spokeswoman said. “He is presently not collectible and could not pay restitution up front in mitigation of his offenses,” Bauer said. Rompala pleaded guilty last month to several charges including money laundering, theft and tampering with records. He faced a sentence of two to five years in prison and was sentenced to serve four years. “Rompala’s scheme preyed on veterans who were simply seeking help,” Cuyahoga County prosecutor Michael C. O’Malley said in a statement. “Today’s sentence delivers justice and sends a clear message that fraud targeting veterans will not be tolerated.”

Tras las informaciones sobre el acoso a una empleada, el ministerio solicitará al Patronato del CNIO que se proceda al cese del gerente, que hace unos meses sucedió en el puesto a Juan Arroyo, acusado de corrupción Hemeroteca - La crisis del CNIO se cerró en falso: un alto cargo denuncia una trama de corrupción en torno al exgerente El Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades solicitará mañana viernes en el Patronato del Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Oncológicas (CNIO), que proceda al cese del nuevo gerente de la institución, José Manuel Bernabé, tras las informaciones sobre un caso de acoso publicadas por el diario ABC. Tras conocer el “presunto caso de acoso” en el centro, el ministerio “condena de forma rotunda” lo que consideran “unos hechos impropios de una institución como el CNIO”, según ha podido saber elDiario.es. Esta decisión se produce tras conocerse la queja formal que Laura Muñoz, entonces secretaria general del CNIO y empleada desde hace doce años, contra el nuevo gerente. El escrito, presentado ante el área de Recursos Humanos, buscaba amparo legal ante posibles represalias frente a la insostenible situación laboral que vivía con Bernabé, desde su toma de posesión en el cargo el 1 de septiembre de ese mismo año. La denunciante detalla un patrón de acoso que se intensificó rápidamente. A medida que las funciones profesionales de Muñoz se veían mermadas, el nuevo gerente comenzó a someterla a un trato excesivamente personal. Bernabé le enviaba información íntima a través de WhatsApp desde el gimnasio y alardeaba de su vida amorosa y sexual presumiendo abiertamente con frases como: “Este año llevo catorce”. El anuncio del cese coincide con una denuncia presentada ante la Fiscalía Anticorrupción que investiga presuntas irregularidades en contratos por valor de 25 millones de euros. En dicha trama, el denunciante cargaba contra el anterior gerente, Juan Arroyo, y situaba a Muñoz como una de sus personas de confianza, enredando su salida con este otro escándalo institucional.
