NJ Man Gets Probation For Refinancing Ex-Wife's Home During Divorce Without Her Knowledge, Consent; $300K Proceeds Used To Pay Business Debts

In Somerville, New Jersey, the New Brunswick Home News Tribune reports:

• A Warren man has been placed on three years probation for his role in a forgery scheme. Salvatore Gramaglia, 55, the chief executive officer of A&G Fine Foods headquartered in Middlesex Borough, pleaded guilty July 22 to forgery before state Superior Court Judge Paul Armstrong, who handed down the sentence. On Sept. 12, Paula Benhayon, 58, of Union, Union County, was also placed on three years probation by Armstrong following her guilty plea in the scheme.

• An investigation began in November 2005 when an attorney notified the Somerset County Prosecutor's Office that Maria Gramaglia, who had divorced Salvatore Gramaglia, learned her marital home in Warren was refinanced by her former husband without her knowledge or consent while they were involved in divorce proceedings, said Somerset County Prosecutor Wayne Forrest.
