Rosemary D'souza, her husband Joseph, and daughter Karen, from Lawrenceville, GA were charged last week in what investigators discovered was an embezzlement of over $2 million dollars from Rosemary's employer, Dental TLC in Sandy Springs.

The investigation shows the thefts occurred between early 2009 and 2013 while Rosemary was an office manager for the dental practice. She reportedly paid herself over $800,000, her husband Joseph over $600,000, and daughter Karen, over $83,000 although her family had no connection to the practice.

According to the investigation, D'souza owned two homes in Florida. At some point, her employer learned this information and began to check the books which soon revealed evidence of the embezzlement.

Rosemary is charged with Theft by Taking, Felony Breach of the Fiduciary Obligation, and Financial Transaction Card Fraud. Both Joseph and Karen are charged with Theft by Taking.

All three are currently on bond in Fulton County. A hearing date has not yet been scheduled.
