Nazreen Mohammed, 47, of Summerfield, Florida, was charged last week with bank fraud, embezzlement and aggravated identity theft in connection with the alleged misappropriation of nearly $450,000 from two banks where she had recently been employed. According to authorities, Mohammed use her position at Fairwinds Credit Union to steal $127,431 through fraudulent loans and lines of credit in the names of mostly deceased or elderly clients over a period of about three months, from April 17 through July 18, 2009. Authorities also allege that Mohammed embezzled at least an additional $312,581 in a similar manner from the Royal Bank of Canada over a two month period from November 5, 2009, to January 7, 2010. Media reports suggest that Mohammed used some of the ill-gotten gains to help with legal expenses for her son, Dane Abdool, 21, who is currently on death row for burning to death his 17-year-old girlfriend, Amelia Sookdeo in February 2006. Abdool, pictured here, was convicted in 2008 of 1st degree murder by dousing a bound Sookdeo with gasoline and lighting her on fire. Nazreen Mohammed has self published two books about her son's case: The Unfortunate and The Pursuit of Justice. She faces up to 30 years in prison for each felony count.
