Edmonton police have charged the former treasurer of the Children’s Heart Society charity in connection with fraudulent transactions totalling more than $206,000.
Asa Wedman, 40, has been charged with two counts of theft over $5,000 and two counts of fraud over $5,000, police said Wednesday in a news release.
The charges follow a six-month joint investigation by the Edmonton Police Service and the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission.
The investigation uncovered “multiple fraudulent transactions” involving more than $206,000 withdrawn from Children’s Heart Society bank accounts between 2013 and 2016 while Wedman was the society’s treasurer, police said.
