SAN JOSE, Calif. - A California woman and her husband have been arrested on suspicion of misappropriating millions of dollars from software provider McAfee Inc.
The Santa Clara District Attorney's office says 35-year-old Susan Despinic of Los Gatos and her husband, 37-year-old Aurawm Almaneih, were arrested Wednesday on grand theft charges.
Prosecutors say Despinic, who worked as a product marketing manager for Santa Clara-based McAfee, steered more than $3.8 million in business from the company to vendors in which she had a financial interest.
Prosecutors say at least one of the firms was a dummy company set up by the couple for their own benefit.
The couple is scheduled to appear in court Nov. 14.
