The former priest at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in Wauwatosa who is accused of misappropriating more than $100,000 from a trust he managed there is in the process of being charged with theft, the Milwaukee County district attorney’s office said Monday.

Father James Dokos has been named in a charging document that has been provided to his attorney and the church’s parish council, Assistant District Attorney David Fleiss said. He could not say when the charge would be filed.

Dokos, who was transferred to SS Peter & Paul Orthodox Church in Glenview, Ill., in 2012, has been suspended from his duties there, according to a story in the Chicago Tribune. Efforts to reach the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Chicago on Monday were not successful.
