Dworek alleged to have embezzled over one million dollars
DES MOINES, Iowa – On December 18, 2019, a federal grand
jury returned an Indictment charging Jeffrey Dworek, age 54, formerly of
Urbandale, with ten counts of Mail Fraud announced United States Attorney Marc
Krickbaum. Trial is scheduled for February 3, 2020 before United States
District Court Chief Judge John A. Jarvey.
According to the Indictment, from 2012 to 2017, Jeffrey
Dworek, while employed as Metro Waste Authority Director of Operations, mailed
fraudulent invoices to Metro Waste Authority for payment. The fraudulent
invoices were from Britad, a company that Dworek incorporated in 2012, without
the knowledge of Metro Waste Authority. As a result, Metro Waste Authority paid
Britad over $1 million, to Dworek’s benefit.
The public is reminded that an Indictment is merely an
accusation, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless they are proven
guilty.
This matter has been investigated by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation and the State of Iowa Auditor’s Office. This case is being
prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of
Iowa.
