A former budget analyst for the State Department pleaded guilty earlier this week to embezzling $657,347.50 during her employment.
Levita Almuete Ferrer, 64, from Maryland, admitted she used her signature authority over a checking account for the State Department between March 2022 and April 2024.
Ferrer, also known as Levita Brezovic, attempted to hide the scheme through a QuickBooks account, specifically assigning herself as the payee and printing them.
She would often alter the payee in QuickBooks to a genuine State Department vendor, making it difficult to trace her activities, according to the Justice Department (DOJ). Ferrer pleaded guilty to theft of government property and will be sentenced on Sept. 18.
She faces a maximum of 10 years in prison.
As part of her guilty plea, Ferrer agreed to pay the amount stolen in restitution to the U.S. government and "be liable for a forfeiture money judgment in that same amount," per the DOJ release.
