The former elected supervisor of Plainfield Township pleaded guilty Monday to stealing almost $1.4 million over a six-year period from a private firm where he served as chief financial officer while also holding office.
Anthony Fremarek, 51, pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud during a telephone hearing before U.S. District Judge Robert Gettleman.Fremarek resigned from office three months after his indictment in January 2021. He faces up to about four years and three months in prison under guidelines calculated by the U.S. attorney’s office, while his attorney, Vincent Pinelli, said he plans to argue the guidelines are actually substantially lower.Prosecutors alleged Fremarek embezzled about $1.
He also submitted false paperwork to the banks where Company A held accounts that “falsely inflated Company A’s liquidity” so he could continue the scheme undetected, according to the charges. In a statement on his campaign website from 2020, Fremarek touted his financial prowess, saying he was proud the township was solidly “in the black.”
