FRESNO, Calif. — Leslie Michelle Hays, 50, of Fresno, was
sentenced today to three years and five months in prison for embezzling funds
from her employer, U.S. Attorney McGregor W. Scott announced.
U.S. District Judge Dale A. Drozd ordered Hays to
self-surrender on September 26, 2018, and to pay $1,632,093 in restitution.
According to court documents, Hays was the director of human
resources from 2005 through 2014 at Borges USA, a food distribution company
based in Spain with regional headquarters in Fresno. To embezzle funds from
Borges USA, Hays misreported her salary, expenses, and vacation time to the
company’s payroll processor, which then remitted the stolen funds to Hays’s
bank account. In total, Hays stole more than $1.5 million in inflated salary
payments and false expenses reimbursements from Borges USA.
This case was the product of an investigation by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation and the Fresno Police Department. Assistant U.S.
Attorney Grant B. Rabenn prosecuted the case.
