A 56-year-old man charged with violating the terms of his probation after embezzling more than $841,000 from Saint Bernard School in Montville - and only paying back $12,000 - won t face any more prison time.
Salvatore Licitra, now of Pulaski, N.Y., had his probation terminated in New London Superior Court after paying off an additional $8,000 last week of the $841,000 he embezzled from the school. He had previously paid about $4,000.
The remainder was paid back to the school by Bank of America, where he had deposited the stolen money, according to New London Superior Court Judge Hillary B. Strackbein.
Paying back the $841,000 he embezzled was a condition of Licitra s probation after he served six years in prison. He violated his probation in 2019 by failing to make $200 monthly payments toward that restitution and stealing from a department store in New York, where he moved in 2015.
