Shelitha Robertson, an attorney and former Atlanta police officer who once ran for office as a Democrat to become a superior court judge, was found guilty by a federal jury in Georgia on Tuesday of fraudulently obtaining over $7 million in Paycheck Protection Program loans.
According to prosecutors, Robertson used the money to buy a Rolls-Royce, a motorcycle, and even a $148,000 10-carat diamond ring, among other things. Robertson received PPP loans for her multiple companies even though only one was operational at the time, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
She blamed her friend and attorney, Chandra Norton for the companies’ fraudulent 2020 PPP loan applications. Norton pleaded guilty in a separate prosecution.
The jury found Robertson guilty of three counts of wire fraud and single counts of money laundering and conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
