He said it was an inside job.
The owner of a Brooklyn grocery store testified against his pretty bookkeeper who he claims tipped off a pack of robbers who attacked him in 2010.
Natalie De Los Santos, 31, allegedly called and told her accomplice, Carlos Perez-Rodriguez, 29, when Bruno Corona, the owner of Associated Supermarket in Flatbush, was leaving with the week’s cash in a plastic bag, prosecutors said.
Perez-Rodriguez and two other men allegedly jumped Corona — breaking his collarbone — and stole $45,000 in cash.
“Nobody, just the secretary,” Corona said, when asked who knew he would be leaving with the money.
But De Los Santos’ defense attorney then established that multiple Corona family members also knew.
“I’m being judged untruthfully,” Perez-Rodriguez, a Bronx manicurist, said during a break in the Brooklyn Supreme Court trial. “I had nothing to do with this crime.”
