Lake Tahoe Humane Society’s executive director Niki Congero has been terminated, suspected of embezzling thousands of dollars from the non profit. Her attorney says she’s innocent, and an investigation by the South Lake Tahoe Police department in ongoing. The Humane Society got a call from their bank saying they saw irregular activities on the account, which opened the investigation. It’s unknown how much money Congero is alleged to have taken. Liz Maul, the nonprofit’s education director, was also let go April 30th because they could no longer afford to pay her, and the spay and neuter program has been temporarily suspended. According to Tahoe Police no formal charges have been filed against Congero yet.
