LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — A Clark County employee appeared in court after facing federal indictment charges connected to money laundering with the estate of deceased residents.
The United States Department of Justice reports TinaTheresa Poto-Nunu illegally gained access to allegedly steal tens of thousands of dollars from Clark County residents who had passed away.
Officials say Poto-Nunu was employed by the Clark County Public Guardian’s Office when she got access to financial records and then transferred money from several accounts of deceased individuals to a credit card account she used for personal expenses.
The DOJ report Poto-Nunu was charged with one count of money laundering and two counts of criminally derived transactions.
According to the DOJ, if Poto-Nunu is found guilty on all counts, a federal judge could sentence Poto-Nunu up to 40 years in prison, and she would be required to pay a fine of $750,000.
Officials say the case was investigated by the FBI and IRS Criminal Investigators.
