LI exec hit with $1M in embezzlement charges

An executive at a Long Island corporation embezzled more than $1 million from the firm – and he and his live-in domestic partner splurged on vacations, gambling junkets and shopping sprees, authorities said.

Payroll Administrator Salvatore Dell’Isola, 32, of Leonia, N.J. was indicted for grand larceny in the 5-year scam against NuVision Technologies of Amityville, said Suffolk DA Tom Spota.

Dell’Isola and his partner, Philip Licitra, also charged in the scheme, used the money to go on vacations to the Bahamas and Florida and drop cash at casinos in Atlantic City and Connecticut.

In Atlantic City, authorities said, the men lived it up at The Tropicana Casino and Resort and at Harrah’s. In Connecticut, they partied at the Mohegan Sun casino. In one 2011 visit to a Yonkers casino and racetrack, the pair dropped $11,000.

They also went on shopping sprees to buy jewelry, Gucci and Armani designer togs, wine, electronics, flowers, gourmet food and tanning sessions, court papers say.

Both men were arraigned yesterday on the charges in Suffolk County Court and a judge set bail for them at $50,000 cash or $100,000 bond.
