A Tucson man, Hector Andres Aleman, was sentenced to three years in prison by a Pima County judge after pleading guilty to Attempted Fraudulent Schemes and Artifices, a Class 3 Felony.
Aleman was indicted in April of this year, accused of using a position of trust to take advantage of vulnerable adults by gaining access to the victims’ funds and transferring the money to himself.
From March through November 2018, Aleman applied for loans in the name of victims without their authorization or knowledge and kept the cash for himself.
The court ordered restitution in the amount of at least $32,046 to an individual victim, $10,000 to Pima Federal Credit Union, and $139,369.39 to CUNA Mutual Group.
