Welland Man Charged in Niagara Falls Fraud Incidents

Suspect accused of trying to fraud business out of $30,000.

A Welland man is facing fraud charges. 

In February, police kicked off a fraud investigation involving a business on Thorold Stone Road near Portage Road in Niagara Falls. 

Employees reported being contacted by their bank, who advised them of the deposit of suspicious checks totaling just over $30,000 into the bank accounts of two corporations. 

Staff confirmed the payments were not authorized, and the bank reversed the deposits. 

Police say an employee in the accounting department issued the checks to his own corporations. 

Facing charges is 58 year old Antonio Di Gioia of Welland.
