MILWAUKEE, WI (METRO) – A De Pere businessman is accused of defrauding Wisconsin taxpayers out of over one-million-dollars.
Ronald Van Den Heuvel was indicted this week by a grand jury in Milwaukee on 14-counts.
Court documents show the 62-year-old received more than nine-million-dollars in loans and investments for his “Green Box” business plan. Around 1.2-million-dollars came from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation.
Van Den Heuvel then spent the money on himself by buying a new Cadillac Escalade, Green Bay Packers tickets and other items.
