(WBIR- KNOXVILLE) – A new tally shows a former church treasurer took $400,950 from Saint George Greek Orthodox Church over about four years, and church members want that man to be prosecuted, records show.
Church officials filed an incident report Wednesday with Knoxville Police Department and have contacted the Knox County District Attorney General’s Office, members say.
Sean McDermott, spokesman for the District Attorney General’s Office, said Monday the office could not comment on ongoing investigations that involve prosecutors or any area law enforcement agency.
Darrell DeBusk, KPD spokesman, said Monday he could not comment about an open investigation.
Church officials have briefed members on what a review of church finances showed over the last several years. A lawyer and former FBI agent conducted it.
