Windsor police have charged an 81-year-old man after he allegedly defrauded a local charity out of over $362,000.
The Windsor Police Financial Crimes Unit launched an investigation in August 2023 after receiving a report that a one-time board member had stolen a large amount of money from the not-for-profit organization.
Through their investigation, officers discovered that a total of $362,739 intended for the charity was instead deposited into the suspect’s personal bank accounts.
Investigators say they determined that the fraud occurred over a 12-year period, from September 2011 until June 2023.
On Feb. 13, officers located and arrested Sushil Kumar Jain in the 3200 block of Everts Avenue. He has been charged with:
• Fraud over $5,000
• Laundering the proceeds of crime
• Possession of property obtained by crime
