A Weston man pleaded guilty on Thursday to a fraud offense that stemmed from an embezzlement scheme.

Charles Ameer, 64, took $890,000 from Indeco North America of Milford and the Weston Soccer Club over the course of several years, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Connecticut. He served as the chief financial officer for Indeco, as well as treasurer for the WSC.

The FBI opened an investigation into the misallocated and transferred funds from Ameer and found he had used the money for personal expenses. He was charged with one count of wire fraud.

He was arrested in August 2023 and was released on a $500,000 bond pending sentencing.

Ameer is scheduled to be sentenced on June 20.
