The former treasurer of a nonprofit organization in Marlborough accused of misappropriating charity money for personal use has been ordered to pay $50,000 in restitution.
The attorney general’s office said Barry Eavzan of Sherborn used funds from the New England Figure Skating Club to pay for personal items such as lingerie, flowers and limousine rides.
As part of the settlement agreement signed Friday, Eavzan has been barred from holding any role in a charity for the next decade. The agreement is not an admission of guilt by Eavzan.
“Misuse of charitable funds not only harms well-intentioned organizations and their members, it undermines the public trust and goodwill of all charitable organizations,” Attorney General Martha Coakley said in a statement.
Eavzan was a volunteer treasurer for the club from 1996 to 2007. Coakley’s office filed the complaint against him in 2010, alleging he procured the money through ATM withdrawals and club checks made out to himself and cash.
The attorney general originally sought $120,000 in restitution.
