Centro is a public-private partnership that promotes progress in the downtown area.

San Antonio police have been conducting a criminal investigation into the alleged embezzlement.

The city says, so far, it appears no public dollars were affected but the forensic audit will examine that.

Centro also has hired a separate firm to do an audit.

Last month, Centro CEO Pat DiGiovanni stepped down after news of the embezzlement was made public.

Police have not made any arrests.
