Detectives with the California Department of Insurance arrested 55 year old Gina Marie Gregori of Lafayette, for allegedly underreporting payroll and ripping off insurers to the tune of $32 million. Gregori was charged with 19 felony counts and is being held on $5,235,000 bail at the San Francisco County Jail.

According to Department of Insurance detectives, over a seven-year period Gregori, owner of GMG Janitorial, GMG Billings, and Apex Janitorial Solutions, allegedly falsified documents and underreported payroll to her workers’ compensation insurance company.

The department’s investigation revealed Gregori was keeping two sets of books, using a payroll processing service to report to Employment Development Department and pay her employees, and keeping a fraudulent set of books that she provided to insurers and insurance auditors, which showed a significantly lower payroll amount.

GMG is a large janitorial company operating throughout the Bay area and Southern California, employing more than 200 employees. The company was founded in 1987 by Gina Gregori, its President. The company claims to provide services for over a million square feet of commercial properties throughout the greater San Francisco Bay Area, LA and Orange Counties.

The investigation was led by the Department of Insurance with assistance from the San Francisco County District Attorney’s Office, who is also prosecuting the case.
