WILMINGTON, Del. (WTW) — A Roman Catholic priest in Delaware has been sentenced to a year in prison for stealing more than $300,000 from a parishioner.
The Rev. Michael Angeloni also was ordered Friday to pay $305,425 in restitution to the 86-year-old victim.
Angeloni faced up to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty last year to one count of theft of more than $100,000.
Prosecutors say Angeloni stole the money from a parishioner of the Church of the Holy Child, where he previously served as assistant pastor. The investigation began last year after the attorney general’s office received a report from Wilmington Trust of suspicious financial activity on the victim’s account.
