An electrical engineer who schemed to illegally obtain integrated circuits with military Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón has announced that a fund manager at UCLA’s history department pleaded no contest on July 26 to stealing more than $300,000 from the university through fraudulent purchase orders and travel reimbursements.

Diana Fonseca, 37, pleaded no contest to six felony counts of grand theft and admitted to the special allegation of committing aggravated white-collar crime. She agreed to pay restitution of $336,000 to UCLA.

On July 26, 2018, officials at the university’s history department discovered that Fonseca had created fraudulent purchase orders for electronic equipment. Sentencing for Fonseca will occur at a later date.
