CLEVELAND

Federal authorities say a Cleveland-area man accused of defrauding a now-failed credit union out of $2.3 million has pleaded guilty to all seven counts against him.

Prosecutors say 52-year-old John Struna of Concord Township changed his plea Monday on four counts of money laundering and single counts of bank fraud, conspiracy to commit bank fraud and making false statements.

His attorney didn’t immediately respond to a message seeking comment.

Investigators alleged Struna conspired with the CEO of Cleveland-based Taupa Lithuanian Credit Union and received fraudulent transfers.

Struna’s sentencing is scheduled Feb. 25.
