A Federal grand jury has indicted DuBois City Manager Herm Suplizio and another municipal official on conspiracy and federal program fraud.
According to a release from the Department of Justice, starting in 2008 Suplizio and the city’s former administrative secretary Roberta Shaffer used the city of DuBois’ tax ID number to open a number of secret accounts they would divert city funds to, and from which they would make large cash withdrawals, write checks, and order cashier’s checks made out to themselves.Over $450,000 from one of the accounts was allegedly used to pay off Suplizio’s personal credit cards.
The new charges are in addition to state charges already pending against Suplizio.
15 year’s worth of crookedness, graft, deception and outright theft. Hopefully these two a$$e$ will at least serve some prison time. They ought to confiscate every asset they own to help recoup some of the money.
Ass in jail..a non governmental person would have been in jail when this all started…maybe look into all Dubois all officials.
