( KRON ) — Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price charged a man with 150 felonies for allegedly stealing more than $4.3 million from his former employer in Union City, her office announced.
Darinder Dyal, 43, is accused of using the stolen money to fund a lavish lifestyle. He committed the embezzlement each month between January 2015 and May 2022, the DA’s office said.
Dyal worked for a trucking company based out of Union City. The DA’s office alleges he set up a company gas card to secretly write checks to himself on a weekly basis.

He used the funds on luxury vacations, sports tickets, retail purchases and “near-constant gambling,” according to the DA’s office.
“We have filed charges and enhancements, including the aggravated white-collar crime enhancement and the money laundering enhancement, that are appropriate given the size of the theft and the betrayal of these vulnerable victims,” Price said. “My office will not let embezzlers prey on Alameda County’s small business community.”
