A crooked senior finance director at a low-income California school district who embezzled millions of dollars to fund a lavish lifestyle — splurging on high-end tequila and fancy cars — has been sentenced to 70 months in federal prison.
Jorge Armando Contreras, 53, pleaded guilty in March to lining his pockets with nearly $17 million from the Magnolia School District, which he spent on luxury goods like cars, expensive tequila and dozens of designer bags, the US Attorney’s Office of the Central District of California said in a press release.
