Disgraced official’s ex-wife gets probation for stealing $240K
The ex-wife of disgraced former state Assemblyman William Boyland Jr. was sentenced Friday to five years probation for stealing $240,000 from her ex-employer.
Kamaria Alfattah, 42, racked up about $200,000 in personal expenses on a corporate AmEx card issued by online translation firm thebigword, court papers charge.
She also awarded herself an unauthorized $28,000 bonus and withdrew about $13,000 from a petty cash account she oversaw, the complaint states.
Alfattah pleaded guilty to one count of second-degree larceny last April for the systematic theft that began in October 2014 and continued through August 2015.
She has five years to pay $60,000 in restitution.
Her ex-hubby is currently serving a 14-year sentence after he was convicted in 2015 on a slew of federal corruption charges, including bribery and extortion.
The crooked Democrat was recorded griping to an undercover agent about his $79,500 Assembly salary.
“How the hell you gonna live off of that?” he said over a fancy steak dinner.
