Police Investigate Embezzlement from Falls Business

Police believe a man embezzled roughly $120,000 from Novum Structures LLC in Menomonee Falls, according to an affidavit filed through the Waukesha County Circuit Court.

Menomonee Falls police are investigating an extensive embezzlement case involving a former employee of Novum Structures LLC in Falls. 

Police obtained a search warrant to obtain copies of information and activity from a bank account held by Gerard Del Giudice. Del Giudice is suspected of embezzling at least $120,615 from Novum Structures, which is an architectural and construction company at W126N8585 Westbrook Crossing. 

According to an affidavit filed with the Waukesha County Circuit Court: 

Del Giudice allegedly set up shell companies while employed at Novum, and was charging Novum subcontractors for insurance and consultant fees. Between January 2012 and March 2013, Del Giudice bilked over $120,000 from the company through several transactions with through false companies. 

This isn't the first tango for Del Giudice. He has also been arrested in Florida, Illinois, and Michigan for fraud, theft by deception, and embezzlement. 

Del Giudice, who created a false identity by the name Jerry Guidice, fabricated the companies USA Assurety Corporation and Subsure Construction Services. He then billed Novum for services that were never provided. A Novum employee provided police a checking statement from Giudice's office, which shows the address of the US Assurety Corporation account matching Giudice's home address. 

Police believe Giudice has been transferring funds from his shell companies into his personal account, and filed for a warrant to obtain proof of that. Former charges have not been filed at this point.
