OKLAHOMA CITY – The former director of immigration and legal services of Catholic Charities of Oklahoma City has been accused of stealing money meant for clients’ immigration fees.
Margarita I. Solis, 46, of Norman, was charged Wednesday with three felony counts of embezzlement.
Oklahoma County prosecutors allege Solis, while employed as an attorney by Catholic Charities, was in charge of assisting clients in obtaining permanent residency status and citizenship in the United States.
