加州总检察长对Lassen高等法院前行政主管提起重罪指控：涉嫌挪用逾14,000美元公款
加州总检察长 Rob Bonta 10月29日在 Oakland 宣布，已对位于加利福尼亚州 Lassen 县的 Lassen 高等法院一名前行政主管提起重罪指控，指控其涉嫌挪用 14,000 多美元公款。总检察长办公室的新闻稿未公布这名前主管的姓名。
据总检察长办公室公布，2022 年至 2025 年间，这名前行政主管涉嫌使用法院配发的信用卡，并提交虚假的报销申请，以支付个人开支。
2024 年 10 月，Lassen 高等法院工作人员发现涉及法院信用卡与燃油卡的可疑交易，并将情况报告给该院院长法官，院长随后通知了 Lassen 县警长办公室。2025 年 7 月，应 Lassen 县地方检察官办公室请求，加州司法部接手完成调查。
调查人员审查了法院的财务记录、报销申请和内部采购程序，并约谈了证人。调查认定，涉嫌未经授权的支出约 14,285 美元，涉及个人购买与报销申请。
Rob Bonta 说：「公职人员有责任守护纳税人的钱。当受托管理公共资金的人把公款挪作私用，他们将被追究责任。我办公室将继续调查和起诉公共腐败，保护我们的机构和它们所服务的加州人的正直。」
总检察长办公室说明，本案指控仅为指控，所有被告在法院依法证明有罪之前均推定无罪。
California Attorney General Files Felony Charges Against Former Lassen Superior Court Executive Officer Over Alleged Misappropriation of More Than $14,000
California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced in Oakland on October 29 that felony charges have been filed against a former executive officer of the Lassen Superior Court in Lassen County, California, for allegedly misappropriating more than $14,000 in public funds. The Attorney General's press release did not name the former officer.
According to the Attorney General's Office, between 2022 and 2025 the former executive officer allegedly used a court-issued credit card and submitted falsified reimbursement requests to cover personal expenses.
In October 2024, Lassen Superior Court employees identified questionable transactions involving court-issued credit and fuel cards. The concerns were reported to the court's presiding judge, who notified the Lassen County Sheriff's Office. In July 2025, at the request of the Lassen County District Attorney's Office, the California Department of Justice assumed responsibility for completing the investigation.
Investigators reviewed court financial records, reimbursement requests, and internal purchasing procedures and interviewed witnesses. The investigation identified approximately $14,285 in allegedly unauthorized expenditures involving personal purchase and reimbursement requests.
"Public officials have a responsibility to safeguard taxpayer dollars. When those who are trusted with public funds misuse them for personal gain, they will be held accountable," said Attorney General Bonta. "My office will continue to investigate and prosecute public corruption to protect the integrity of our institutions and the Californians they serve."
The Attorney General's Office noted that the charges are merely allegations, and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
