The former payroll manager at the Art Institute of Chicago allegedly defrauded the museum out of more than $2 million by siphoning funds intended for other current or former employees into his own bank account for more than a decade.
In his role as payroll manager, Maurello had access to make direct deposits. But between 2007 and 2020, he disguised payments to make it appear as though they were going to other employees, when they were actually going into his own account, according to a federal indictment.
“This individual’s employment was terminated for cause, and the matter was immediately referred to law enforcement,” an Art Institute spokesperson said. “After an investigation, the Department of Justice has filed criminal charges against the former employee.
