A Burlington man faces charges that he stole more than $120,000 from
a nonprofit youth organization where he was a volunteer.

A Middlesex grand jury has indicted 49-year-old Raffi Donoyan on two
counts of larceny over $250.

Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley’s office is prosecuting
the case, and announced the charges Thursday.

Starting in 2003, Donoyan was athletic director and a board member for
more than two years at a Watertown-based nonprofit called Homenetmen
Eastern Region. The organization serves Armenian youth, offering
scouting and athletic activities.

Coakley says investigators found Donoyan stole more than $120,000 by
making cash withdrawals from the organization’s account, and then
writing checks to himself. Donoyan is scheduled to be arraigned on
December 5.

A phone message left at a Burlington phone number listed under
Donoyan’s name was not immediately returned.
