ROCHESTER HILLS Michael Rymar, 59, of Rochester Hills, has been indicted by a federal grand jury for allegedly embezzling government funds from the U.S. Postal Service.
The indictment alleges that over the course of a three-year fraud scheme, Rymar, who owns Horizons Materials & Management LLC, stole over $1.2 million from the Postal Service. His attorney, Anjali Prasad, said the indictment makes no sense and that her client was singled out when postal employees should be brought to justice.
According to the government, Postal Service engineers awarded Rymar’s company with over $5 million in contracts for repairs on Postal Service buildings in Michigan and New York between 2015 and 2018.

United Airlines has agreed to pay about $49 million in penalties to resolve criminal charges and civil claims for supplying the US Postal Service with fraudulent data about international mail delivery, according to the Justice Department.
DOJ officials said United employees submitted false international delivery scan data between 2012 and 2015, making it appear that United and its partner airlines were delivering the mail in a timely way. Instead of performing this duty with transparency, United defrauded the US Postal Service by providing falsified parcel delivery information over a period of years and accepting millions of dollars of payments to which the company was not entitled, Nicholas L. McQuaid, acting assistant attorney general, said
