A former Catholic priest has been arrested on allegations of stealing over $740,000. Gregory Allen Madeya, 69, originally from Ukraine, faces multiple charges including theft and financial exploitation. The charges stem from alleged thefts dating back to 2018, which were uncovered during an investigation into his conduct. Madeya is accused of misappropriating nearly $320,000 from church-related people and entities, as well as stealing from his own mother.

Further details of the allegations are available from the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General, which reported the arrest. Madeya was taken into custody on August 14.

The investigation and charges against Madeya are a result of his alleged actions, which are said to have occurred over several years.
