Three former DSBN employees accused of stealing over $2 million from the board have been arrested.

Police allege between 2003 and 2019, the DSBN lost over $2.1 million due to false invoicing, diverted revenue and other related incidents.

Former DSBN Chief Information Officer Dino Miele, his wife Peggy Miele, and former DSBN Information Technology employee Alexander Hagopian are facing several fraud-related charges.

The accused were taken into custody earlier today, and released with a future court date scheduled.

Anyone with information on the case is asked to call the Niagara Regional Police Service Central Fraud Unit at 905-688-4111.
