Over in Texas, a Guam woman indicted in a San Antonio District Court in connection to a multi-million-dollar fraud scheme waived appearing in person before a judge and denied the allegations filed against her. 

As KUAM reported, 57-year-old Janet Yamanaka Mello is accused of allegedly stealing over $100-million in Army funds, meant to help military children, for her own benefit.

The former Guam resident was a U.S. Army civilian employee working as a financial program manager at Fort Sam Houston when she allegedly used her position to submit fraudulent paperwork to funnel funds into her company.

Trial is set for Feb. 12 in San Antonio. 

Mello remains out on bond and is charged with mail fraud, engaging in a monetary transaction using criminally derived proceeds, and aggravated identity theft.
