WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) Officials at the University of Massachusetts Medical School have discovered a $3.4 million theft by an employee who died in a December car accident. <\/p>\n
School leaders told The Boston Globe (http:\/\/b.globe.com\/162f06P<\/a> ) an internal investigation found that for five years financial analyst Leo Villani siphoned funds from payments intended for the state Medicaid insurance program. It may be the biggest theft by a state employee in more than a decade. <\/p>\n Officials at the Worcester (WUS'-tur) school say Villani made $46,000 a year, but drove a Porsche, collected Salvador Dali paintings and built a large home in Uxbridge. They say he claimed he inherited money. <\/p>\n The school has dismissed one supervisor and disciplined several other workers in response to the theft. It also has called in an outside auditor. <\/p>\n ___ <\/p>\n Information from: The Boston Globe, http:\/\/www.bostonglobe.com<\/a> <\/p>\n Copyright 2013 Globe Newspaper Company. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Read the original post: <\/p>\n Report: UMass Medical School worker stole $3.4M<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Boston Globe\/September 15, 2013 WORCESTER, Mass.
