KRON 4: Retired San Jose Police Officer Pleads Guilty to Multi-Million Dollar Fraud

SAN JOSE, Calif. (KRON) — The Santa Clara County’s District Attorney’s Office announced a retired San Jose Police officer was convicted of a multi-million dollar fraud scheme.

48-year-old Robert Foster, of Morgan Hill, pleaded no contest to a series of felony fraud charges on Friday, including $1.13 million in insurance fraud and $18 million in money laundering to cover it up, tax evasion, and worker exploitation.

“Exploitation takes a massive toll on workers,” District Attorney Jeff Rosen said. “Our Office does not tolerate the victimization of workers and will prosecute those responsible – no matter who they are.”
