A Mineola man was arraigned Wednesday for allegedly using $62,000 for himself from the anti-money laundering company where he worked.

Bobby Juarbe, 30, was arrested April 6 and charged with two counts of third-degree grand larceny for using the Mineola-based Safe Banking Systems’ credit cards for unauthorized purchases over a seven-year period, police said.

Juarbe was issued two American Express cards while he worked for Safe Banking Systems between May 2008 and April 2015, police said.

An internal review the company conducted after he left last April found he used the cards to make unauthorized personal purchases, police said.

Juarbe’s LinkedIn profile says he was an IT manager for special projects at Safe Banking Systems, which offers risk management and anti-fraud services to banks and other financial institutions.

A Safe Banking Systems official did not return a request for comment.

Juarbe is due back in First District Court in Hempstead on May 4.
