Ca Attorney Arrested for Stealing from Elder
Fresno Police have arrested 63-year-old James Saccheri of Clovis, for elder abuse charges. Saccheri, an attorney for the victim’s family, was appointed as a trustee for an elderly woman who is in a full-time care facility.
Authorities say that between 2002 and 2008 Saccheri is accused of embezzling more than $100,000 over several years. Saccheri was booked into the Fresno County jail on counts of theft from an elder adult. Bail was set at $1.7 million.
A record of disciplinary action against Saccheri by the California Bar Association in 2000 can be found here. In November 2009 the California Department of Corporations issued Saccheri a Desist and Refrain Oder for selling unregistered securities and making untrue statements of material facts.
