Spokane Accountant Charged with Embezzling $715,000
A Spokane accountant has been accused of embezzling over $715,000 from a local medical practice, leaving patients and staff stunned. Carol Casilla, 25, was employed as an accountant at Spokane Dermatology Clinic (SDC) from May 2020 to March 2023.
According to the indictment, Casilla used her position to issue company checks to herself and deposit them into her personal accounts. She also made electronic funds transfers using company funds to pay off her personal credit cards. Some of the transfers were made to a fictitious company she created to hide the transactions.
The indictment alleges that Casilla committed 46 counts of fraud, resulting in the theft of over $715,000. The charges carry a maximum sentence of 30 years in federal prison.
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Spokane Resident Agency. Assistant United States Attorneys Dan Fruchter and Tyler H.L. Tornabene are prosecuting the case on behalf of the United States.
An indictment is merely an allegation and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
United States v. Casilla, Case No: 2-23-CR-00085-TOR, is currently ongoing, and a court date has not been set. The public remains unsure of the extent of the damages caused by Casilla’s actions and the impact on the medical practice and its patients.
