Former business manager for actress Tamara Tunie admits to $1M theft

There’s some real-life law and order for sexy “Law & Order: SVU” star Tamara Tunie — her ex-business manager admitted today that he’d stolen more than $1 million from her over the course of a decade.

Accountant Joseph Cilibrasi, of Chelsea, will serve at least 2 and 1/2 years prison — and as much as 7 1/2 years — when he is sentenced Jan. 4.

Cilibrasi also admitted pocketing $75,000 from Michael Stern, the conductor and musical director of the Kansas City Symphony and son of the late legendary violinist Isaac Stern. Stern had hired Cilibrasi to do his taxes in 2007.

Prosecutor Peirce Moser said Cilibrasi stole from Tunie by opening a credit card account in her name and writing himself checks from her bank accounts. He used the money to invest in theater and movies, to fund his business and to take vacations, prosecutors said.

Cilibrasi pled guilty to first degree grand larceny for stealing from Tunie, who’d hired him as business manager in the early 1990s.
