Centro San Antonio $291k embezzlement case wraps up after almost 5 years
An embezzlement case that shook the public nonprofit responsible for downtown improvement nearly five years ago came to a close in federal court when a former bookkeeper was sentenced to 33 months in prison.
Alicia Henderson received the prison sentence Aug. 5 and was ordered to pay $356,104.23 in restitution following her 2020 guilty plea. She embezzled $291,000 from Centro San Antonio over a two-year period.
The sentencing comes four years and eight months after the organization disclosed a staffer embezzled funds without being detected by management. Centro San Antonio is a nonprofit that bridges private developers and local government to better downtown.
U.S. District Judge Xavier Rodriguez sentenced Henderson to 33 months in prison for financial and tax fraud and ordered her to serve three years of supervised release and pay $356,104.23 in restitution.
