Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan has announced that three former bank employees, Yeimaly Moscat, 23, of Boston, Yojairis Suazo, 21, of Boston and Angelica Morales, 31, of Mattapan, have been charged after allegedly stealing money from customers’ accounts by processing unauthorized withdrawals at three different Citizens Bank branches. 

The investigation indicates that, between September and November of 2022, Yeimaly Moscat was employed as a bank teller at a Citizens Bank branch in Somerville.  During that period it is alleged that Moscat processed a series of 12 unauthorized withdrawals, totaling $40,900 from victims’ bank accounts.  During that same time, Yojairis Suazo was employed as a teller at a Citizens Bank in Dorchester. Suazo allegedly processed a series of 15 unauthorized withdrawals totaling $30,850 from victims’ bank accounts.

The stolen funds in question, in both circumstances, were paid out in counter transactions to suspected associates of Moscat and Suazo. Moscat and Suazo facilitated the transactions by entering the recipients as “Known Customers,” even though the individuals at the counter were not the account holders.

A year later, between November and December 2023, Angelica Morales was employed as a teller at a Citizens Bank branch in Milton when she was allegedly recruited to carry out the same scheme.  During this time, Morales allegedly processed a series of five unauthorized withdrawals from victims’ bank accounts, totaling $20,000. The stolen funds were also paid in counter transactions to apparent co-conspirators.

“The allegations in this case are that three defendants, executed a coordinated scheme to steal funds from bank customers.  They used their positions of trust to invade accounts and allegedly used their coconspirators to successfully take substantial sums from the bank,” said District Attorney Ryan. “The investigators at Citizen’s Bank identified the suspicious transactions and brought them to our attention, which has enabled us to seek charges to hold these defendants accountable.”

Yeimaly Moscat and Yojairis Suazo were arraigned Thursday in Middlesex Superior Court.

Moscat was arraigned on two counts of Larceny Over $1200 by Scheme, one count of Embezzlement by a Bank Employee, two counts of conspiracy to commit larceny and one count of attempted larceny.  Bail was set at $1,000, and she was ordered to stay away from all Citizens Bank locations. 

Suazo was arraigned on one count of Larceny Over $1200 by scheme, one count of Embezzlement by a Bank Employee, one count of Conspiracy to commit larceny and one count of attempted larceny.  She was released on her own recognizance and ordered to stay away from all Citizens Bank locations. 

Angelica Morales will be summonsed for arraignment on December 12, 2024.

These charges are allegations, and the defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

This case is being investigated by the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office, the Somerville Police Department, and the United States Secret Service. The prosecutor assigned to this case is Andrew Ineson.
