Paramus NJ, Acting Bergen County Prosecutor Dennis Calo announced the arrest of CHRISTOPHER GIORDANO, also known as COURTNEY BREESE, (DOB: 06/10/1988; single; employed as a marketing manager) of 496 Ridge Road, Monmouth Junction, New Jersey on charges of Theft By Deception and Falsifying Records. The arrest is the result of a joint investigation by the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office Financial Crimes Unit under the direction of Chief Robert Anzilotti and the Moonachie Police Department under the direction of Chief Richard Behrens.

In July 2017, the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office Financial Crimes Unit received information from the Moonachie Police Department of an alleged theft in an amount greater than $150,000.00 from a restaurant based in Teterboro.

During the course of the ensuing investigation, it was determined that Courtney BREESE entered into a contractual agreement with a New York City based food service organizer to provide lunch to clients in what is known as a “pop-up” restaurant. This written agreement listed a bank account directly under the control of BREESE rather than the corporate business operation account held by the “pop-up” restaurant. BREESE, in turn, used the funds for personal expenses.

BREESE, who had his legal name changed to Christopher GIORDANO in late 2018, was arrested on Tuesday, February 19, 2019 in Paramus and charged with one count of Theft By Deception in the amount greater than $150,000.00, in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:20-4, a crime of the 2rd degree, and one count of Falsifying Records, in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:21-4a, a crime of 4th degree. GIORDANO is scheduled for a first appearance in Central Judicial Processing Court in Hackensack on Wednesday, March 6, 2019 at 8:30 A.M.

Acting Prosecutor Calo states that the charges are merely accusations and that the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and would like to thank the Moonachie Department for its assistance with this investigation.
