Rhode Island bank manager charged with embezzling $70,000
Victor N. Silva, 34, reportedly used the funds to pay his mortgage and other personal expenses.
Silva was the East Providence Branch Manager, and also filled in as Pawtucket Branch Manager at Bank Rhode Island. State Police say he withdrew money several times at both locations from three separate customer accounts.
The former Bank RI Branch Manager reportedly forged withdrawal slips to make the unauthorized transactions.
Silva was arraigned at the Sixth Division District Court on charges of embezzlement by a bank officer or employee over $1,500 and forgery. He was released on $10,000 personal recognizance and is scheduled to return to district court on August 14 for a pre-arraignment conference.
If convicted, Silva could be face 20 years in prison and a $21,000 fine.
