NAPLES, Fla. — The City of Naples confirmed to FOX 4 on Wednesday afternoon, that it's investigating a city employee for possible embezzlement.
A letter was given to FOX 4's Dominga Murray, Naples City Council, the City Manager, and the City Finance Director.
It claims a city worker used a city issued credit card, to spend thousands of your tax dollars to buy items that he used for his personal business.
It also claims the worker re-sold some of the items, and kept the money for himself.
FOX 4 reached out to the city to see if the allegations are legitimate.
In a statement, a spokesperson said, "The city of Naples is aware of allegations related to embezzlement, questionable purchases, and missing items involving a city employee. The city is in the process of finalizing a thorough investigation and exercising appropriate due diligence to ensure all aspects of the matter are addressed."
