Garfield NJ, Acting Bergen County Prosecutor Dennis Calo announced the arrest of ALFREDO RAMOS (DOB: 07/19/1980; single; self-employed as an attorney) of 102 Belmont Avenue, Garfield, NJ on a charge of Misapplication Of Entrusted Funds. The arrest is the result of an investigation conducted by the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office under the direction of Chief Robert Anzilotti.

In July 2018, the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office Financial Crimes Unit received a complaint from a client of Alfredo RAMOS, Esq., regarding his failure to disburse to the client approximately $100,000.00 that he had received in trust as the result of the sale of real property. An investigation revealed that Alfredo RAMOS had received the funds into his attorney trust account but, instead of forwarding them to the client, he used them for his own purposes.

On November 16, 2018 a warrant was issued for the arrest of Alfredo RAMOS. RAMOS was charged with one count of Misapplication Of Entrusted Funds, with the amount being greater than $75,000.00, in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:21-15, a 2nd degree crime. On December 17, 2018, RAMOS was arrested as he reentered the United States from Colombia at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York by United States Customs and Border Protection agents with the assistance of the Port Authority Police Department. RAMOS is being held in New York pending extradition to New Jersey.

Acting Prosecutor Calo states that the charge is merely an accusation and that the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
