Three former Citizens Bank tellers at branch locations in the Boston-area are accused of stealing more than $90,000 from customers’ accounts.
“They used their positions of trust to invade accounts and allegedly used their co-conspirators to successfully take substantial sums from the bank,” said Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan. “The investigators at Citizen’s Bank identified the suspicious transactions and brought them to our attention, which has enabled us to seek charges to hold these defendants accountable.”
Ryan’s office has charged three Boston defendants with similar crimes in the alleged scheme, in which the tellers paid out funds to suspected associates at their respective locations from accounts of bank customers.
Yeimaly Moscat, 23, and Yojairis Suazo, 21, were arraigned in Middlesex Superior Court on Thursday on charges of larceny over $1,200 by scheme, embezzlement by a bank employee, conspiracy to commit larceny and attempted larceny.
Moscat, who faces multiple counts of some charges, had bail set at $1,000. Suazo, who faces single counts only, was released on personal recognizance. Both were ordered to stay away from Citizens Bank locations.
A third defendant, Angelica Morales, 31, is scheduled for arraignment on Dec. 12.
Moscat and Suazo are alleged to have started the scheme, and Morales is alleged to have joined a year later.
Moscat worked at a branch in Somerville where between September and November 2022 she allegedly stole $40,900 across 12 unauthorized withdrawals. In the same time period, Suazo is alleged to have stolen $30,850 across 15 unauthorized transactions at a Dorchester branch.
Roughly a year later, between November and December 2023, Morales is alleged to have stolen $20,000 across five unauthorized transactions at a Mattapan bank branch.
