Elizabeth Gutfahr, accompanied by her attorney,Joshua Hamilton, and an unidentified woman, leaves court Thursday morning after pleading guilty to three felonies.
“You abused your position as the Santa Cruz County Treasurer,” Judge Eric J. Markovich said as he addressed Elizabeth Gutfahr during her court appearance on Thursday, Nov. 21 in Federal District Court in Tucson. When he then asked Gutfahr, “Did you know you were stealing these funds?” she answered, quietly and with no emotion, “Yes, sir.”
Seven months after evidence of wrongdoing by the former Santa Cruz County treasurer was first uncovered, Gutfahr pleaded guilty to three federal charges: embezzlement, money laundering and tax evasion.
During the hearing, Gutfahr, who was dressed in black and appeared to have lost a significant amount of weight, looked sullen and despondent as she listened to Judge Markovich read the list of felonies she is charged with, as well as the the maximum penalty for each count: embezzlement—punishable by ten years in prison with $250,000 in fines and five years of mandatory supervision; money laundering—punishable by 20 years, with $500,000 in fines and restitution and eight years of mandatory supervision; and tax evasion —punishable by five years in prison with $100,000 in fines and restitution and three years of mandatory supervision.
Gutfahr was not taken into custody after her hearing, but will remain free until her sentencing hearing on Feb. 6, 2025. Gutfahr was ordered not to leave the state of Arizona, and must surrender any travel documentation, including any passport. She is also not allowed to open credit or bank accounts.
Gutfahr’s guilty plea is the result of a plea bargain agreement (download the 18-page document here) made with federal prosecutors in connection with her theft of more than $38.7 million in County funds over a ten-year period beginning in 2014. Judge Markovich stated that as a condition of the agreement, Gutfahr will not be able to appeal the court’s decision and that the debt owed to Santa Cruz County will be paid back first, followed by the outstanding tax debt.
After the hearing, Santa Cruz County Supervisor Manny Ruiz spoke with the PRT.
“I’m satisfied with her guilty pleas and that now, hopefully some justice will be issued to the citizens of Santa Cruz County,” Ruiz said. “With her guilty pleas, we are going to move on with the other avenues that we are exploring to try to recuperate as much of the funds that were taken so that we can try to make the entities that lost money as whole as possible.”
When asked about the County’s lawsuit filed on Nov. 14 accusing State Auditor General Lindsey A. Perry of negligence in failing to comply with generally accepted accounting practices and principles, and thus enabling Gutfahr’s embezzlement, Ruiz said, “We’ve filed the case and now we are just waiting to see. The Auditor General charged us for the audits, and they weren’t done for free.”
Later in the afternoon, representatives for Gutfahr released the following statement: “Liz Gutfahr wants to take responsibility for the harm she has caused to Santa Cruz County. She knows that by pleading guilty, and accepting the punishment she will face as a result, she is taking a step in the right direction to be accountable for her actions. Today was just a step, albeit a major one, along the road to redemption, and she will work to remain on that path for the rest of her life.”
The Historic Valle Verde Ranch offers a unique blend of history and nature for travelers seeking a peaceful escape. Built in 1938, this beautifully preserved adobe ranch is surrounded by the modern-day Tubac Barrio, yet retains its old-world charm on six serene acres.
The Ranch features three individual guest units, plus the original three bedroom, adobe house, all filled with character and echoes of the past. Whether you're an artist, historian, or avid birder, the private four-acre mesquite bosque (forest) provides the perfect place to relax and soak in the tranquil surroundings. Wander through the property, and you'll find yourself at the historic Anza Trail, where you can choose your own adventure -- head North to Tubac Village and the Presidio State Park or head South to the Tumacacori National Historic Park and Mission, built in 1681, a scenic three mile hike along the Santa Cruz River.
For bird lovers, Valle Verde Ranch is recognized by the Tucson Audubon Society as a "cardinal level" premium birding habitat, making it a prime spot to observe both resident and migrating birds, along with other Arizona wildlife. It's a hidden gem for those who love a mix of history, nature, and wildlife."
Travel to its edge and you will be greeted by the historic Anza Trail that runs directly to Tubac or Tumacacori, your choice!
I am a 5th generation native Arizonan and have been in the real estate business for over 40 years. I began my career with Russ Lyon Real Estate in the early 1980s and then spent 25 years as the President of Brasher Real Estate in Tubac. During my time in Tubac I have been a principal and partner in developing and building over 400 homes as well as one of the managing partners of the Barrio de Tubac, a master planned development in the community. Eight years ago I rejoined Russ Lyon/Sotheby’s International Realty and am excited to be back as a part of the RLSIR team!
My wife Tracey and I are blessed to have 4 daughters and six grandchildren all living here in Southern Arizona! All 4 grandchildren are in the Santa Cruz Valley Unified School District so, in addition to work, we are constantly on the move from one event to another whether it be sports, dance, or academic activities. Tracey and I are partners in life and in our real estate business and love working with one of our daughters, Sea Anna, who serves as the administrator and sales agent in our firm.
As a local businessman I feel it is important to also serve my community through volunteer and charitable work and have served as the past President of the Tubac Chamber of Commerce and the Santa Cruz Valley Citizens Council, Co-Chair of the Real Estate Committee of the Arizona/Mexico Commission. I have been appointed by the Governor to the Groundwater Advisory Board for the Santa Cruz Active Management Area. I also serve on the Board of Directors of the Carondolet Holy Cross Hospital in Nogales and beginning in January of 2025 will be a member of the Board of Directors for the Tubac Fire District. In addition I have volunteered extensively for a variety of faith based organizations which serve Santa Cruz County and greater Arizona.
As a Realtor/ Broker and Developer for over 40 years I have learned the community in which I serve from top to bottom and would be happy to put my expertise and knowledge of the market to work on your behalf in finding that special home, ranch, farm or development property in the Santa Cruz Valley and the I-19 corridor.
