WASHINGTON (DC News Now) —

64-year-old Levita Ferrer, of Montgomery Village, Md., admitted to using her authority to issue 60 checks payable to herself and three checks to someone with whom she had a “personal relationship.” Using a Quickbooks account, Ferrer, also known as Levita Brezovic, listed the payee as herself on the checks and would then go back and change the name to an actual State Department Vendor.

Between March 2022 and April 2024, while working as a senior budget analyst in the State Department’s Office of the Chief of Protocol, Ferrer embezzled $657,347.50.

U.S. District Judge Christopher R. Cooper accepted Ferrer’s guilty plea to theft of government property and set a sentencing date for Sept. 18, 2025. Ferrer faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. Judge Cooper will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

As part of her plea agreement, Ferrer agreed to pay $657,347.50 in restitution to the U.S. government. She also agreed to be liable for a forfeiture money judgment in that same amount.
