GREELEY, Colo.—The former finance director of the Vestas wind turbine blade manufacturing plant in Windsor has pleaded guilty to embezzling at least $1.4 million from the company.
Denna Randall-Martinez’s plea Tuesday was part of a deal with prosecutors. The Greeley Tribune reports ( ) that the plea deal calls for Martinez to repay Vestas $1.4 million. Martinez faces up to 12 years in prison but she is also eligible for probation.
Vestas filed a lawsuit against Martinez earlier this year alleging that she stole from the company from August 2007 until she was fired in December 2010.
The company said in the lawsuit that Martinez used a company credit card to buy items for herself, including plane tickets and hotel rooms.
