Air Force Veteran Charged for Fraud | Tucson News
A 44-year-old Air Force member in Tucson, Davide Velarde, faces indictment for allegedly lying on job applications to land lucrative contracts with NASA, the IRS, and NOAA while still serving. The DOJ says he concealed prior termination from federal contract work and pocketed over $466,000 between 2021 and 2025—fraudulently exploiting taxpayer money. If convicted, he could face up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, sending a clear warning: deceiving the government won’t be tolerated.
