Testimony is expected to begin today in the trial of a Unity man who is accused of bilking vendors that he hired for his daughter’s wedding.
51-year-old Joseph A. Malago is accused in four separate cases, three of which he is charged with forging bogus checks. According to court records, police said Malago signed checks he created to draw funds on a fictitious account and had his wife pay a caterer, the owner of a supply company and hotels. He also is charged with theft, forgery and bad checks for incidents at a Shop ’n Save store in Latrobe and at a local bank also during the same time frame.
Opening statements are expected today.
