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.
