A North Canton man has been charged with embezzling $219,000 from a bank where he worked as a teller. Joshua L. Haddad, age 29, is accused of embezzling approximately $219,900 from First Merit Corporation from April 2010 through September 2012.
According to the criminal information filed, Haddad worked at the bank’s Country Fair Branch, located at 4105 Tuscarawas Street West, in Canton, Ohio. The bank’s deposits were insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
The charges against Haddad were announced by Steven M. Dettelbach, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio. If convicted, Haddad’s sentence will be determined by the court after review of factors unique to this case, including his prior criminal record, if any, his role in the offense, and the characteristics of the violation.
In all cases, the sentence will not exceed the statutory maximum and in most cases it will be less than the maximum. An information is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. The defendant is entitled to a fair trial in which it will be the government’s burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Margaret A. Sweeney, following an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The prosecution will rely on evidence gathered during the investigation to prove Haddad’s guilt.
The embezzlement charges against Haddad are a serious offense, and if convicted, he could face significant penalties. The case will be closely watched as it proceeds through the court system. The public will be waiting to see how the case unfolds and what sentence Haddad will receive if he is found guilty.
The investigation and prosecution of embezzlement cases like this one are important for maintaining the integrity of the financial system. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the United States Attorney’s office are committed to holding individuals accountable for their actions and ensuring that those who commit crimes are brought to justice.
