In a stunning case that has sent shockwaves through diplomatic circles, Levita Almuete Ferrer, a veteran State Department budget analyst, has admitted to orchestrating a sophisticated embezzlement scheme that siphoned more than $650,000 from the U.S. government over a two-year period. Ferrer, a 64-year-old Maryland resident, who served as a senior budget analyst in the department’s Office of the Chief of Protocol during the Biden administration, pleaded guilty to theft of government property. This case has raised serious concerns about financial oversight within one of America’s most critical diplomatic institutions.
