Eric Gonzalez<\/a> said the alleged theft represented a breach of trust by a board member responsible for overseeing the building\u2019s finances.<\/p>\n\u201cThis defendant allegedly turned a position of trust into a six-year scheme to steal from her neighbors, spending more than seven hundred thousands dollars meant to maintain a cooperative on luxuty items and personal bills,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He added that his office will \u201cprosecute anyone who exploits their authority to criminally enrich themselves.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
According to the indictment, Gallier allegedly diverted building funds between January 2018 and February 2024 for personal expenses and luxury goods.\n<\/p>\n
Investigators allege that more of $218,000 of the funds went toward Gallier\u2019s personal mortgages. Another $125,000 was allegedly spent on luxury goods, including $12,000 worth of furs, a $4,000 Rolex watch and $53,000 on 150 pairs ofhigh-end shoes, among them Christian Loubotin and Valentino brands.<\/p>\n
The alleged misconduct came to light after Gallier was voted out as board president and a new board assumed control of the cooperatives finances. Authorities said a review of financial records uncovered the missing funds.<\/p>\n
Following her departure from the board, Gallier sold her three units in the building and moved out, according to prosecutors.\n<\/p>\n
The investigation was conducted by Chief Financial Investigator Ludwig Sanches and members of the Kings County District Attorney\u2019s Office Detective Investigations Squad.\n<\/p>\n
The case is being prosecuted by Senior Assistant District Attorney Richa Bhasin of the Frauds Bureau.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Brooklyn Heights co-op board president was indicted today after allegedly stealing $700,000 in funds over six years.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":252461,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,5531,100,6748,99,98548,7022,86665,303,3777,90395,396,334,98549,9,24,63,98550,1491],"class_list":["post-252460","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-district-attorney","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-heights","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-co-op-housing","tag-corruption","tag-court-news","tag-crime","tag-criminal-justice","tag-financial-crimes","tag-fraud","tag-grand-larceny","tag-housing-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-property-management","tag-real-estate"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252460","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=252460"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252460\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/252461"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=252460"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=252460"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=252460"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
