| U.S. Attorney’s Office September 16, 2009 |
William J. Edwards, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio, today announced the filing of an information charging Diane M. Lantz, age 58, of Plymouth, Ohio, with embezzling over $400,000.00 over a seven year period from the KeyBank.
If convicted, the defendant's sentence will be determined by the Court after review of factors unique to each case, including the defendant's prior criminal record, if any, the defendant's role in the offense and the characteristics of the violation. In all cases, the sentence will not exceed the statutory maximum and in most cases it will be less than the maximum.
The investigating agency in this case is the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The case is being handled by Assistant United States Attorney Thomas A. Karol, who may be reached at the above telephone number.
An information is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is entitled to a fair trial in which it will be the government's burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
