· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The Harlingen Police Department has released details regarding the arrest of Yuliana Pérez, accused of executing an alleged embezzlement scheme against Valley Cancer Associates, resulting in estimated losses of $750,000. The investigation began on May 19, 2026, when the company filed a report after detecting suspicions of financial fraud. Following this, detectives conducted a thorough review of the finances and discovered that, between May 2025 and April 2026, the suspect allegedly diverted corporate funds into four personal bank accounts. To conceal the crime, the fraudulent transactions were disguised as legitimate operating expenses using names of regular vendors. While the initial investigation identified around $588,000 in unauthorized transactions, subsequent analysis of the accounting records revealed additional alleged illicit activities that raised the total embezzlement amount to $750,000. Finally, on August 4, 2026, Harlingen agents, in coordination with the Brownsville Police, executed the arrest warrant and apprehended the suspect without incident. Authorities reiterated their commitment to rigorously investigate financial crimes and ensure that those responsible are held accountable under the law.
