Mary Margaret Kreuper, 79, of Los Angeles was charged Tuesday with one count of wire fraud and one count of money laundering, the U.S. attorney's office said.
Prosecutors said that in a plea agreement, also filed Tuesday, the now-retired elementary school principal acknowledged that over a decade ending in 2018, she embezzled about US$835,000 in donations, tuition and fee money from St. James Catholic School in the LA suburb of Torrance. Kreuper, who was the school principal for 28 years, "controlled accounts at a credit union, including a savings account for the school and one established to pay the living expenses of the nuns employed by the school," the U.S. attorney's office said.
In her plea agreement, Kreuper acknowledged diverting money to pay for personal expenses that included credit card charges and "large gambling expenses incurred at casinos," the U.S. attorney's office said.A statement from her attorneys said that Kreuper was "very remorseful for what happened" and had been cooperating with law enforcement and the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
