New audit flags more than $200,000 in spending by former LAFD union president
Briefly

The International Association of Fire Fighters has suspended UFLAC President Freddy Escobar and two officials amid allegations of inadequate documentation of credit card transactions. An audit revealed over $212,000 in expenses lacked proper receipts. Even after Escobar presented additional materials claiming to address issues, auditors maintained that a large portion of his transactions remained unverified. The IAFF's leadership noted Escobar's efforts to reconcile discrepancies but identified significant reporting flaws over transactions dating back to 2018.
Auditors concluded that even with new materials, Escobar failed to properly document over $212,000 worth of credit card expenses.
Escobar - with the assistance of UFLAC staff - worked feverishly to reconcile some of his past credit card expenditures, per IAFF's leadership.
