A Greenwich, Conn. woman whom authorities say falsely told an investor in White Plains that her company was about to sign several significant contracts was indicted on mail fraud charges.
Milana Murcia, who was the vice president of Regenat USA Holding Corp., a company that was purportedly in the business of recycling timber and wood, producing wood and purifying water, is scheduled to be arraigned in U.S. District Court in White Plains on Wednesday.
The indictment says Murcia, who was the vice president, and a co-conspirator, the president and chief executive, made false statements to recruit investors from May 2003 through January of this year. They recruited investors who placed $2 million in the company, according to the indictment.
None of the investors received any return on their investments, according to the indictment.
The indictment says Murcia was charged with mail fraud and conspiracy to commit mail fraud.
In March 2008, she had a phone conversation with an investor in White Plains and falsely said the company was about to sign contracts in Maine, according to the indictment.
Murcia and Philippe Murcia were arrested on the charges in January. Philippe Murcia has since died, said Herb Hadad, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s office.
Milana Murcia’s lawyer, Theodore Green, could not be reached for comment this morning.
