Katherine Junge
FERGUS FALLS, Minn. (KFGO) – The former CEO of two real estate organizations in Fergus Falls has been sentenced to probation and ordered to make restitution in a plea agreement where she was accused of using the group’s credit cards for about $144,000 in purchases for her own benefit over several years.
Police began to investigate Katherine Junge, 70, in March of 2022 after her retirement. Association members discovered the embezzlement.
Junge had led the Lakes Region Association of Realtors and Lakes Region Multiple Listing Service for 25 years.
Junge originally faced four counts. She agreed to plead guilty to one theft charge and the other counts were dismissed. An Otter Tail County District Court judge put her on probation for five years and ordered her to pay restitution of nearly $94,000.
