RE: PRESS RELEASE - CAMPAIGN TREASURER CHARGED WITH GRAND LARCENY
Carmen Dubaldi, age 48, a resident of Orange County, has been charged with three counts of Grand Larceny in the Third Degree, class "D" non-violent felonies. The Ulster County District Attorney’s Office has conducted an investigation over the course of the past several months after being appointed as a special prosecutor. Dubaldi is accused of stealing in excess of three thousand dollars ($3,000 in U.S. Currency) from each of three victims, NYS Senator William Larkin, former Orange County Executive Edward Diana and Orange County Clerk Annie Rabbit.
The charges allege that Dubaldi, while acting as campaign treasurer for each of the victims, embezzled campaign funds. The total sums stolen exceed $120,000.00.
Dubaldi surrendered himself to the New York State Police in Monroe for processing and was arraigned in the Village of Goshen Court where he was released on his own recognizance.
