The FBI is investigating a Catholic priest in suburban Detroit accused of embezzling more than $400,000 from his church, the Detroit Free Press reports.
Troy police handed over the investigation of Rev. Edward Belczak, 67, a former pastor at St. Thomas More Parish in Troy for three decades, the Free Press wrote.
The Archdiocese of Detroit removed Belczak from his position after nearly three decades as allegations of financial improprieties surfaced.
Belczak is accused of padding his pay and bankrolling a ghost employee.
