   TUCSON, Ariz. (TND) — An Arizona county is suing its former treasurer for   
   allegedly embezzling more than $39 million, it announced on Friday.   
      
   Santa Cruz County accused Elizabeth Gutfahr in a lawsuit filed Thursday of   
   stealing $39,412,000, according to a press release. The county said its   
   goal is to recover as much of the funds as possible.   
      
   “Though this is a significant amount of money for our community, we will   
   do everything in our power to avoid impact to the day-to-day operations of   
   the entities that rely on funding from the County, and we will continue to   
   provide straightforward updates as things progress,” the press release   
   reads.   
      
   Gutfahr resigned in April, when the county became aware of 11 “irregular”   
   transactions of $375,000, according to the release. Santa Cruz said in   
   June it had immediately secured all official accounts controlled by   
   Gutfahr before alerting the “proper authorities.”   
      
   Investigations by the FBI, Department of Justice and local authorities are   
   still ongoing, according to the county.   
      
   “The County is continuing its comprehensive internal review with the   
   assistance of experienced outside legal and forensic accounting   
   professionals, including a full forensic financial investigation of the   
   accounts controlled by the County Treasurer,” Santa Cruz noted.   
      
   County supervisors met with a private company to review policies for   
   treasurers and improve accountability of the office, according to the June   
   press release. Following the meeting, Santa Cruz said it made changes to   
   protect funds.   
      
   “The Board of Supervisors is doing everything in its power to safeguard   
   the County’s financial future, assist in bringing to light any potential   
   wrongdoing, and will take action accordingly,” the June release reads.   
      
   Inis Villa, a Santa Cruz resident, told News 4 Tucson that the situation   
   is sad for the community.   
      
   It seems unjust and sad on her part because she knew that money was to   
   help us, the residents,” she said.   
   Another member of the community, Roberto Esparza, told the outlet Gutfahr   
   should be in prison.   
      
   “We pay her salary, and she abused that confidence that people give these   
   politicians around here,” he argued. “The politicians, I think they get   
   way too much of a break.”
