The embezzlement trial for Sandra L. Savala, 40, of Silvis, Illinois, a former employee of Southeast National Bank in Moline, Illinois, scheduled to begin Monday has been postponed until March 30th. Prosecutors filed a motion that was granted compelling Savala to provide writing samples so that they can be compared to documents in evidence. Savala was charged in September with stealing $481,000 from the bank between July 1996 and February 2004, including one count of embezzlement and 33 counts of making false entries in bank records with the intent to defraud. She also is charged with making false statements to a federal investigator. Savala reportedly made false cash advance entries into bank books and records, transferring the funds to herself. If convicted on all counts, Savala faces up to 30 years in prison and $1 million in fines, plus restitution.
