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.
